Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The university itself cannot compare to Trinity in terms of the way classes are taught and what you as a student are expected to do, but the BCA program was fantastic. We had a very informative director who could answer any and all of your questions (or tell you where to find the answers) about Ecuador, the people, the culture, how to get around, etc. The program also took us on several small trips around the country as well as the Galapagos islands and the Amazon, so in that respect, it was very educational and I found this alone to be very rewarding. |
