2/11 Talk about student exchange programs at universities.

Students who want a one-of-a-kind experience should look into student exchange programs at their schools.
* one-of-a-kind: 유일무이한, the only one like this

Many colleges across the nation offer overseas exchange programs.
* across nation: 전국적으로
ex> Visitors from across the nation came and took part in the festival.

They link up Korean universities with schools all over the world.
* link up ~ with: ~와 연결시키다.
ex> We are trying to link up other charities working in the area.

You can even walk away with course credits acknowledged by your school.
        -> ... bring back course credits ...
* course credit: 수업 학점
* acknowledge: 인정하다
* walk away (with something): ~을 수월하게 차지하다. ~을 가지고 떠나다
ex> Sometimes, it's best to just walk away from certain situations.

You don't have to take time off (from) your school.
* take time off from school: 휴학을 하다.
ex> I want to take some time off work sometime next year.

Exchange programs allow students to immerse themselves in a new culture.
* immerse oneself in: ~에 몰입하여 경험하다, plunge in

@ You're like a breath of fresh air!  넌 정말 신선한 느낌이야.
I can be kind of blunt.  내가 좀 솔직해서 말이야.
