Overall, CET was more intense than other abroad programs. I struggled to enjoy many of my classes but, the workload was relatively light. Wish I took advantage of shopping classes more than I did. |

Administration at CET Prague was fantastic! They were always friendly and tried their best to be accommodating. |

| Instructor: | Salim Murad |
| Instruction Language: | English |
| Comments: | This was one of the most fantastic courses I have taken during my college career thus far. Professor Murad was so invested in the subject and curriculum. All students in CET should take this class regardless of their overall academic interest. Gave me great insight into history, socioeconomics, and overall perceptions of individuals in the Czech Republic. |
