Dear Future Students "ELI Program" :

Dear ELI Program Students Advices: Cover your nose and mouth if your visit is in Winter in order to avoid becoming sick. You can drink the water in Chicago. It is really good and you will avoid spending extra money in watter bottles. There are cheaper stores for your shopping, so I recommended TJMaxx and Sears. You can try to participe in all visits that Kendall propose to you. These visits are really amazing and unforgettable. Be carefull with the cashiers when you will pay for your shops, because some of them when they note that you are foreign they give less change in your money, so be carefull with that. You take many pictures and share them by your social network, it is a good way to share this beautifull experience with your friends. You can try to speak with the Kendall guides in your visits, they are so kind and friendly people and they can help you improve your listening. Enjoy this experience, do not pay attention for any complaints, instead take advantage of all possitive things that you can learn in this experience. Again, enjoy this experience enjoy this City because is Wonderfull City, and here you can find many amazing places and people. Finally, please try all different kind of meals that Kendall offer, they are delicious, but you need open your senses to enjoy them.. Best Regards!!! Rosa Angélica Sepúlveda Apaza..
