What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
If I could go back tomorrow, I wouldnt hesitate to go. This abroad experience was that best thing I've done, ever. I think everyone should take an opportunity to study abroad when given.

Jewish Experience in Central Europe |
| Course Department: | HIS 236 |
| Instructor: | Linda Stucbartova |
| Instruction Language: | English/ Czech |
| Comments: | I absolutely loved this class. My instructor is not only impressive in that she is academically well achieved, but is able to convey the objectives of the course in a way that is easily understood. I learned so much in the few short weeks I had with this instructor and the subject than i have during a regular semester. |
| Credit Transfer Issues: | Have the courses approved by your home institution before enrolling in them overseas, this will make then transfer back much easier. |
| Course Name/Rating: |
Culture, Identity, and Film |
| Course Department: | SOC 273 |
| Instructor: | David Piemer |
| Instruction Language: | English |
| Comments: | This was a very fun course, and I took away from it the ability to identify the not so obvious artistic direction of the director. This teacher taught that films aren't just what you see on a screen, but that the characters themselves are intentionally multi-dimensional |
| Credit Transfer Issues: | Course was pre-approved |
