Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The classes are interesting and the professors are awesome! They only thing is that the class schedule is very inconvenient and made it hard to travel outside of Sorrento for weekend trips. It is also hard to pay attention for 3 hour class periods. |

On-site administration of your program |
The administration is very attentive to all of our needs and make the dorms feel like home. |

| * What could be improved? |
|
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | I did the internship, and although I would do it again, 135 hours is a lot of hours to complete in 5 weeks. With that and classes, it was almost a full-time job while trying to make the most of my time here. |
