Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

I aquired so much more knowledge of the culture, history, currency, businesses, dining, entertainment, social behavior, transportation, the business culture, how to handle unexpected situations, traveling, etc. through actually being there than from a classroom. Getting to actually see and experience the Scandinavian business and culture hands on was fulfilled with knowledge everywhere we went, no matter the public water closets or the beautiful historic buildings. I am so thankful that SFASU provided this oppurtunity that gave me amazing knowledge that I will use from here on out!!
