Foreign Language Housing Challenges Students

Students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are sharpening their foreign language skills and developing global perspectives in foreign language housing.

As part of the program, students immerse themselves in their language of choice on one of six floors, each with a focus on a different culture, WISC-TV reported.

“It’s really important to just understand cultures and the world, I feel, because if you don’t understand the people of the world, you can’t really understand where they’re coming from,” said Christy Pankratz, a student who speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish.
