<p>I couldn't find anything about Switzerland's Franklin College on this site. While many students visit it for a semester/year abroad, the majority of full-time students are from the US. Has anyone attended, or know much about it beyond the website's info? Anything you could tell me would be great.
Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks, but i did Wikipedia it. the issue was that there isn’t so much more out there about it.
I was hoping for a “my ___ went there and had these experiences” or “i went there for a semester abroad but it was like this and i met these permanent students” kind of thing. I mean, most of the colleges on here have their own sections and they all have much more than Wikipedia.</p>
<p>Hi-
I attended FC in the 70s and am now on the board. It was a wonderful experience, one that honestly changed my life. While it is a small college (under 500), the students are from over 50 countries and it acts like a mini UN, but one that works! You gain an understanding of different cultures, politics, religions and viewpoints all in one classroom or while hanging out. It opens your eyes as to what other people from different backgrounds think about issues that we might often take for granted.<br>
My personal experience while I was there forced me to examine why our government was involved in Viet Nam. My non-US classmates couldn’t understand why we were involved and it made me look at how other people view us, and at the actions the US takes that affect so many. It made me think more “globally.”</p>
