Review Your Program

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
It was meeting once a week with a professor no classes and a lot of paper writing. that was really hard to adjust to |

On-site administration of your program |
There was not a lot of time for study and travel which was a weakness but i grew as a student which was definitely a strength. |

Pub crawls, some traveling |
