"Living in Paris gave me a totally different perception on what any tourist has before living there" Past Review
By Edward H (Marketing/GB, Suffolk University) for
Ecole Superieure De Commerce De Paris: Paris - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
"Suffolk University was excellent in regards of support, information, assistance. I was expecting the same or similar in Paris, but it was the opposite. Although I had to learn to communicate effectively and achieve my goals on my own, I could have done a lot more and wasted less time if the host university would have an efficient organization and student support."

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Workload, grading system and teaching methods were fair. I didn't like the University's organization. It was very inefficient and poor. Classes were not equipped properly. Almost every single class we would waste at least 20 minutes in order to get the appropriate technological equipments to work. |
