* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I am glad I participated in this program as it allowed me to learn a lot and have access to valuable resources even now (i.e. slides and codes). However, there was a lot of concepts covered and we couldn't grasp everything in such a short amount of time. |

The Academic or LinguistYou went abroad with specific academic goals in mind; the program credentials and rigor of your coursework abroad were very important to you. You had a great time abroad, but never lost sight of your studies and (if applicable) were diligent with your foreign language study. Good for you! |
