Default International students @ Falcon?

Hi guys,

Just wondering if there are any international students attending the academy at the moment, and, what will the situation be, in say, 6 to 8 months? Just curious as I always enjoy "cross cultural" experiences!

All the best,

Alonso

I can give them a call for you and ask, since I'm sure long distance phone charges would be outrageous for you. . . then again, I could be wrong.

Let me know.

There you go Alonso. . . hope that information Tim posted helps.

Hopefully you will call Falcon your training home next summer. I'll more then likely end up starting there the first week of June.

"Hopefully you will call Falcon your training home next summer."

Surreal,

He, he.... yes well quite frankly Falcon seems like my first choice by quite a bit but I do want to see them in person before I enroll!! I cant believe the summer is only 6 months away! Ive been waiting a long time for this (23 years, )!!!! but I have to graduate from university first!!!

Tim,

Thanks for your answer, truth is my question was more "are there any international students, or will I be the only one?" but all info is welcomed!

Regards to all,

Alonso

I have no idea about the amount of international students but Peachtree City isnt your typical southern city so you wouldnt stick out to much....haha...I would say talk to Spencer (multicom) about the amount international students. Just guessing I would say most are local students but business must be good as much as they are expanding.
