Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I think that the L.A. program is a great way for students who have never been to L.A. to be exposed to the city, the culture, and the lifestyle of Los Angeles. The classes offer relevant and important material that is very necessary to starting a career in L.A. Also, the Literature of Los Angeles class with Paul Mandelbaum is a great way to get a better understanding of this city, it's history, it's culture, and the entertainment industry. |

* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
I lived at home which saved me a lot of money and dorm-related stress, however I still feel that I got a really valuable experience in L.A. I think the best part about this program is the internship component. I really learned a lot and met a lot of very important and great people. |
