Absolutely!nThe classes were really fun. The professors were wonderful. The trips are great and it's wonderful seeing all the scenery. I loved the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum.

The Academic or LinguistYou went abroad with specific academic goals in mind; the program credentials and rigor of your coursework abroad were very important to you. You had a great time abroad, but never lost sight of your studies and (if applicable) were diligent with your foreign language study. Good for you! |
