The students enjoyed meeting new people and making international friends. Popular activities included visiting Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, and spending free time with their partner families. However, some things could be improved like better planning to reduce waiting time and include more icebreaker activities. Overall, the international student visit was a very positive experience for building cross-cultural understanding despite some difficulties with organization.
