Do you know how I got a fully funded US exchange program?

The United States hosts the maximum number of exchange programs in the world. I was selected for the SUSI exchange program and had one of the best 6 weeks of my life in the United States.

 

We went to the University of Amherst, Massachusetts and spent 4 weeks there. The two-week study trip was in New York, Virginia and Washington D.C. Here are some photos from my visit to Washington D.C. in 2017.
