LA Program helped prepare me for post-grad work, but selection process is flawed. Past Review
By Katharine D (Writing, Literature, And Publishing, Emerson College) for
Emerson College: Los Angeles - Emerson College in Los Angeles
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I had a wonderful internship and learned a lot. I enjoyed exploring the area, but ultimately came to the decision that LA was not the city for me. This program provided me with a safe "crash course" in Los Angeles and I truly value my experience there.

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I took two classes, so that, on top of being an RA and having an internship 3 days a week, was a lot of work. But, I really enjoyed my classes and found them to be highly applicable to what I was doing at my internship. |

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | You'll be busy, but make sure to take time to explore the Los Angeles area--especially if you're planning on moving there after graduation. Also, be sure to take advantage of opportunities to connect with local alumni! |
