Review Your Program

It was a heavy course load, but the classes I took were excellent. I learned a lot!

On-site administration of your program

Very well organized.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

A bit bland. Definitely edible, though.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Trip to Amsterdam was INCREDIBLE. Exhausting, but very, very fun.
