Interview with our boarding student Mariya G.

Mariya is one of our boarding students who will be starting at our school this summer.

Is this your first boarding experience?

No, I went to a camp in England twice, it was a very cool experience. The first time it was difficult for me and I really missed my family, but the second time I was older and I really liked it.

Have you been to Switzerland before, what do you expect it to be like?

No, I haven’t been to Switzerland, but I know that Switzerland is a successful and very beautiful country, many languages are spoken there, which attracts me, and Switzerland also has a high level of education.

Do you think Switzerland will be very different to your home country and why?

 I think in some kind yes, other traditions that I want to learn and accept, also a different atmosphere in society.

What do you expect boarding will be like?

I think it won’t be easy for me, but I will try. I hope I will find a lot of new friends, make acquaintances, and have the most enjoyable time, also improve my foreign languages.

What are you looking forward to?

The first day of school, getting to know the guys and classmates.

What are you hesitant/nervous about?

I worry about whether I will cope with the tasks set, how comfortable the conditions will be, and how I will be accepted in the team.

What do you think you will gain going to a boarding school?

The opportunity to prepare well for university admission, and of course raise my knowledge.

What will you miss the most?

Perhaps by my loved ones, relatives and friends.
