Interview with Park Hyung-chul[Department of English Literature]CAH: Why did you choose Lakehead University?Park: I chose North America to improve my English skills and I heard that Canadians are kinder than Americans. I wanted to go to country side to get help from the people there. So I chose Lakehead University.CAH: What was the most difficult part while preparing for exchange student program?Park: I wasn’t good at dealing with documents in English. So it was difficult to read and react on it. Also, there were a lot of required documents so I was dealing with both studying in CAU and making documents. The documents became a huge burden to me. CAH: What did you do in orientation?Park: They don’t offer a school field trip program including sleeping over. But as a substitute, they offer an orientation for a week. They made quizzes about the school to make students understand the school in general. They offered goods if we get a good score in the quizzes. We also did some recreation including singing folk songs. CAH: Did you get close to your roommates?
