I loved Prague, but I did not love the program at all.

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The professors were really great and helpful! They know absolutely everything about thier particular field of study and they are more than willing to share their knowledge through supplementary materials and discussions - all you have to do is ask! The classes were very interesting and I loved learning in this program. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
There was very little support from the director on site. The program was only 3 people, which was extremely dissapointing. We were not notified of this beforehand, and had I known I would have joined another program. CIS program support was also of little or no help. |
