Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I certainly had some of the best months of my lifetime in Bali during my semester abroad which was organised by Asia Exchange. Bali is the perfect destination to have a unique experience of studying and living in paradise. The island is amazing and the expenses are affordable so that even students can live a quite comfortable life. The Exchange program was organized very well, the quality of the lectures was better than expected and the staff was very friendly and helpful at any time. I would totally recommend this study program to everybody. |
