Past Review
By Emily A (Photography., University of Hartford) for
API (Academic Programs International): London - University of the Arts, London
Yes! I learned a lot about how I work when left to my own devices. I learned a lot about myself, because I was taken away from the teachers and peers I am so comfortable with.
