This document summarizes the experiences of a student participating in video conferences and chat sessions with students from ECU, Ukraine, and Poland universities over several months. The student found the early classes with ECU students interesting for learning about college life in the US. Later classes discussing religion and collaborative projects with Ukraine students were engaging. However, the student found the Poland university partners more distant and some classes less interesting, though some discussions on stereotypes and news were enjoyable. Overall, the student had positive experiences connecting with international students.
