Hello, my name is Jordan, I am from Ecuador. I am a psychology student with a concentration in human analysis. My college is located in Connecticut but I am from New York. I chose this program because I wanted to learn and have a little bit of experience in psychology. The staff, I highly recommend them. The coordinators are good.
