Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The grammar lessons were very early in the morning, which many students don't like. I just had an issue with commuting to get there early. The teachers are generally supplied by the university and some of them know English in order to help you. They are great, and there is no reason to disrespect them. Participate as much as possible because that is how you will learn. |
