ECC exchange students ready for first Thanksgiving
ST. CHARLES – Two Elgin Community College exchange students from China – Xiaochen Wang and Rong Rong – said they’re looking forward to celebrating a uniquely American holiday this week.
Neither of them have ever celebrated Thanksgiving before. But on Thursday, they’ll feast on the traditional fare, along with a few Chinese dishes.
Rong, 21, and Wang, 20, both attend Shaanxi Normal University in China and will live with a host family in St. Charles through the end of the fall semester.
