irrelevant Past Review
By A student (PSYCHOLOGY., University of Georgia - Fort Valley State University) - abroad from 07/07/2012 to 07/28/2012 with
Savannah State University: St. Augustine - Study Abroad in Trinidad & Tobago
I gained a sense of diversity but the trip was not worthwhile. I was expecting a lot more. But I will defiantly study abroad again in Grad school

Review Your Program

I learned a lot from my History professor there but in the end I didn't understand why we had to take the class because it didn't reflect our papers at all. |

* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
We received everything late, like our ID cards. And a few things were unorganized. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
I wasn't use to community housing like that so I didn't really care for it to much because all of the insects coming in and out as they pleased as well as the birds. But it was a good experience |
