"Intercultural Studies was an important class for me to take because of [the] many struggles I have had living in the American culture.  I have learned many strategies and techniques to get [me] through hard times and learn to adapt to another culture."

" I was thinking today that I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to be in this class this semester.  It was perfect timing for me since I am going to live in [...] for a semester.  This is great preparation for me to try and understand and enjoy a culture that I love.  I know I will probably go through the W-curve ... and the stages of cultural adaptation.  I hope my classmates have gotten as much out of this course as I have."

"What I have found interesting is the interest my friends have shown in ICS.  I told some of my friends about the relationship potential and adaptability quiz... an they wanted to take it too."
