Student Profiles

”I really had fun in the Middlebury-Monterey Summer ICE program. I learned a lot during the program. My TOEFL scores increased dramatically. I met friends from Italy, Tibet, Afghanistan, Brazil, and teachers from all over the country. We were like a small community or should I say a big family.”

“The Middlebury-Monterey Summer Intensive College English Program helped me more than what I expected. I learned a lot of in terms of vocabulary and writing, which I considered be my weakness. I did not do well in my writing class; I was totally hopeless but the professor did not give up on me, she gave me her time and knowledge, until I become a good writer. I learned more in five weeks at Summer ICE than what I learned in two years of high school in America. The professors and the staff were very friendly and kind. The students were terrific. In the end, I thank all the professors and staff for making me a top quality student in English.”

“I think that in the U.S.A., at the Middlebury-Monterey Summer Intensive College English program, I had one of my best experiences ever: I met interesting students, one better than the other, I had many experiences and I saw places I will never forget. I think I improved my English but above all I learned al lot about the American culture and about the culture of others countries. I'd recommend this experience to anyone, because I think it was very educational and important for my growth.”

“Absolutely the Middlebury-Monterey Summer Intensive College English  program helped me improve my English. Being immersed on the program makes you learn English naturally and in a pleasant manner. The experience of studying with people with different cultures and countries is something unique. You not only learn English, but also you gain knowledge and life experience. After the program I realized how much I have learned in such short period of time, increasing my TOEFL more than 50%.”

"I really liked the Middlebury-Monterey Summer Intensive College English Program because I learned a lot and also I found so many friends from all over the world. Attending ICE Summer program was one of the greatest experiences that I have had. We had a lot of " homework" which our teacher called “homefun” and all these” homefun” assignments prepared me for school in the United States. Our teachers were the best and were kind. I learned how to be confident and how to ask questions.”
