Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The courses offered by Central were not very difficult which actually worked out very well. I was able to learn more about the culture by experiencing the country and city instead of sitting in a classroom. Definitly different from an American system. We were only in class one day per week per class. The internship was definitly the best part.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

The directors were quick in responding to your needs and were easy to get a hold of. The excursions were faculty led and were great! They picked some good locations, and I had a blast with the staff.

Everything was great, but it was a little cramped with so many students living in the house.
