Hailing from Denmark, Durham Tech student Camilla Egelund arrived in Durham three years ago to work as an au pair for an American family with three children.
“I was going to do one year with the family but fell in love with them, so I stayed a second year,” Egelund said.
Her visa was up after year two, but she wanted to stay in Durham with her family longer, so she began looking at options to make that happen.
“I wasn’t ready to go back to Denmark. I loved my family and Durham,” she said. “Studying in the U.S. had always been a dream of mine, but it did not seem realistic so finding out I could stay here and start at a community college right in Durham was the start of it all for me.”
