“I really found the exchange program a life-changer. I became more sure of myself and the
exposure was incredible. I also made some really good friends and I am still in contact with them.”
“I had a wonderful experience with my classmates at Amrita. We used to hang out together
over weekends, take trips to the city, and spend time chatting in the canteen. I was also
invited to their homes and even attended one of their weddings. I found my classmates and
teachers to be very caring and supportive and would definitely recommend others to come
and experience Amrita.”
