Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Pretty much the best time of my life. We were taught be some great teachers who were not afraid to speak their minds about our work, but the film aspect was only part of it. The more important aspect of the program is the exposure to a fantastic culture with a history full of oppression, perseverance, and beauty. Prague is now my favorite city. |

Jim Lane is the man. Just make sure you have a plan about how to get from the airport to your dorms. Not alot of people know where you will be living. |
