The first alternative I'm sharing to you is the summer or winter camp offered by prestigious colleges or universities. Attendants of these camps will have a chance to live on the campus of their school of dreams, moreover, they will take short-term courses which is specially designed for students to know more about the country's culture, language or history in a efficient way. However, summer or winter camps are expensive in comparison to those methods I mentioned the week before last week. For example, the summer camp to UCB costs at least 200 thousand NTD for a 6-week standard course. For those who only want to slightly experience cultural shock and are extremely well-off, summer / winter camps are options that you should not miss.
The second alternative that actually I recommended more for normal students is volunteering. This number of volunteering programs are increasing outrageously these days. Volunteering programs even have been categorized into several types, some offer free plane tickets, some cover volunteers' living costs, some even provide international certification or credits to their crews. Among all of these countless organizations world wide I strongly recommend AIESEC, an international not-for-profit and the world's largest student-run organization. They have plenty of almost every resource from every part of the world, therefore, you can find volunteering programs to any destination you can ever think of. Most of these Global Community Development Programs (GCDP) take place in summer or winter vacation, students who are interested in should remember to attend their interviews to have a seat in their volunteering programs. Good luck and enjoy!
