Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The workload was put on us all at once and in the American educational system it usually spread out throughout the course. My host university also provided any books for us where as the American educational system makes us buy them. I also noticed that my host university did not really believe in homework, it was mainly group projects and test. |
