Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
My professor was American who was a wonderful teacher and expected our time and effort in the classroom. However, he also was understanding that the students wanted to enjoy their time while in Italy, so he did not assign much work outside of the classroom! |

* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Through my program, I worked with two wonderful leaders. I did not work directly with JCU faculty for most of my program. |
