“You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression” is a quote that has always stuck with me. To see a new group of au pairs each and every week, we are constantly creating a first impression of not only the US side of the program, but for some people, the entire country as well. As we continue to make sweeping improvements to the campus and the overall au pair experience, we asked some au pairs what their first impression of their school experience was.
We are very happy with the experience in the school. The staff were very kind. It's a unique time and is great. This is a good start for a new au pair's life. P.S. Now, we have worldwide's friends.

Today is my second day in the training school. The girls here are open-minded so the atmosphere is very good. The dorm building looks great from the outside, but not that great from the inside, it is just a youth hostel so don’t expect a great hotel. The food is typical college cafeteria food and all in all well. The lessons are fun, but also exhausting because of the lack of sleep, but you can handle it. The really good thing is you can communicate with other au pairs which are in your area in the US, so you may make some of your first US friends here! The bad thing is, you don’t have much time to talk to your family and friends at home on the phone or via internet but there is wireless internet which is great when you bring your own computer with you. Have fun and make your own experience!

We had a fun time at the school with all the people from all over the world. Long Island is a beautiful place. Hopefully you'll learn as much as we did and meet as many great people as well!

My favorite part has been getting to know other au pairs cultures and languages. It was so interesting!
