Best of #WeAreAYA: September Edition | Academic Year in America (AYA)Month after month we are reminded of the amazing community of students, host families, and Local Coordinators who love to share exchange year experiences on social media! As fall rapidly approaches, we see so many events and holiday memories shared: first days of school, Homecoming, football games, Halloween, and more! Here some of our favorite photos posted on social media using the official Academic Year in America hashtag, #WeAreAYA, in the month of September.

These exchange students, host families and host sisters make my job as a Local Coordinator for AYA worth every minute!! This is an amazing adventure! You want to join the adventure just let me know!! #weareaya

Ich bin jetzt auch schon fast seit zwei Monaten in den USA und mir geht es einfach super. Schule macht Spaß und ich habe auch schon ein paar Freunde gefunden. Wenn ihr gerade im Ausland seid und nicht wisst ob ihr einen Sport machen sollt, macht es umbedingt. Es ist so viel einfacher Leute kennen zu lernen, gerade am Anfang. Ich spiele Tennis und es war einfach eine super Entscheidung. Bei mir is gerade Homecoming week und ich freue mich schon total auf den Tanz am Samstag. Ich hoffe ihr habt eine schöne Woche 😘😘 @pauline_kollmar #weareaya #exchangestorytime
