This program focuses primarily on learning English through full-time classes alongside other international students.
After class, participate in activities featuring Indian cuisine, traditional music, and Bollywood. A visit to the famous Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is included!
In India, families are often large, sometimes spanning three generations, but urban families now have one or two children. Religion strongly influences eating habits: many families are vegetarian, and Muslims do not eat pork.
Peace and quiet are rare in the city, with traffic, vendors, and ambient noise. Living in India means stepping out of your comfort zone. Your host family will speak English, but you'll likely hear one of the 120 local languages.
AFS helps people of all ages and backgrounds develop the knowledge, skills, and understanding needed to connect with diverse people, succeed in a global environment, and contribute to a positive impact on the world.
