Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Everything was basically the same, but you get to experience the views of those outside the United States. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration

The faculty and office staff at La Trobe were very helpful but the communication between La Crosse and La Trobe was very poor. This caused many problems with paperwork that was supposed to be in Australia. |

Great choices on campus, wide variety. They had a Subway! |
