In this video I have a conversation with my friend Ebube about what it is like being a foreign exchange student in an American High School. He's from Nigeria and I think anyone curious about studying abroad in the U.S. will learn a lot from his experience!
For context, we live in a suburb of Chicago called Oak Park, which provides somewhat a village/community feel and great access to downtown Chicago.
