The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
Individual Course Reviews

Course Department: | Art history |
Instructor: | |
Instruction Language: | Spanish |
Comments: | The class was very disorganized with classes being cancelled multiple times. Instructions for assignments were unclear and there was no feedback given on any of the completed work, making it impossible to improve or change one's style of work to better suit the professor's expectations. |
