Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I would recomend doing this to anyone! ITS WORTH MORE THAN YOU SPEND!!!! If it comes down to your decision and your only reason to not go is money, I say GO!! Its very beneficial, i would also recomend going on a longer one, it was hard at first, but when it was time to leave i wasnt ready! not even a little. This program helped me grow as a person, and it has given me a great experience i will never forget it! or the people i met there! |
