Q: What is JASC?
A: Four weeks spent constantly in the company of other delegates tend to produce strong feelings. We debate together, sleep together, bathe together and, on one sad, unfortunate day, vomit together. It takes a strong, wintry heart to remain indifferent to a fellow delegate after this. This is not to say I fell in love with everyone, but I got to keep the friends that I did (and still do) adore. JASC is all about the people. Come to the conference to meet some amazing fellow students, befriend them, and then spend Thanksgiving with them afterwards.
