Two Worlds United

Has anyone had any experience with Two Worlds United, a foreign exchange placement service for high school students? I am beyond the frustration level trying to get them to acknowledge me since they failed to place my daughter last September and will not refund me any of the thousands of dollars fees that were all paid in advance. I mean they will not answer e-mail or phone messages (they do not have live people on the phone, just leave your name and number and we will call you back). When we were applying and paying they were always available.

Dear Joshualite: How nice for you. Yet, still so not very nice for the rest of us. Perhaps, as your world experience grows, so will your empathy for others.

Not a lot of children get to do what I've been able to do. I've been to Australia twice, England and Ireland and this summer I will be traveling to France with TWU. Tell me, if the program is so horrible, why would so many children be interested in it every year, especially children like myself who choose to continue the program all throughout their high school years.

This program has truly made a big difference in my life and all your comments, which look like they are from the same person, are ridiculous and false. I and many other students that I know who have been in this program will back up this organization against SCAMMERS and EVIL people like YOU!!!!

Joshua - New Jersey
U.S.A.

So Joshua from New Jersey, or is that Michelle a TWU employee ??
Which name would you care to post under.
This seem to me as an underhanded tactic to garner support for TWU.

If you would like to use your correct name, rather than pretending to be someone else, then I'm sure these people have a lot of questions for you.

Please remember that when ever you post on a forum such as this your IP address is logged. Now yours is for Tampa Florida NOT New Jersey !!!

Dear Curlyben, good job flushing out the imposter----but, I daresay the rest of us already knew it! Appreciate the prompt confirmation though!

In my program alone we were 25 students and many of us are still in touch and we never heard anything remotely close to what you say. It was an awesome opportunity to see the world and stay with families in foreign countries, sharing cultures. It made me a better adult - no doubt about it. The ability to be able to see that others are different but no better or worse for it is something many people never learn to do.

Other students recommended the TWU program to me. We were safe and watched over by our TWU representative and families whom there are like my second family.

This program was a wonderful experience for all of us, and we would recommend it to everyone that asks us because I know there are many students like us.

Michelle/Joshua, rather than posting a comment a running,
how about addressing some of the concerns these other members have about TWU.
I think that would be the correct thing to do for a legitimate company.

Mr. Curlyben,

I am Joshua's father, and I would be more than happy to address any of your concerns about what my son has mentioned and about the TWU program.

May I ask your name, contact information and your location so we can discuss this further?

Thanks

Mr Joshua's father, are there 6 people in your house all trying to give input here, or is it one person trying to sound like 6?

Mr. Rick

I'm Joshua's father and I have a concern about your postings against the TWU organization. I have your business contact information but I keep getting your voicemail. Is there an office for your business?

thanks
