Past Review
By Anne M (Marketing., SUNY - Binghamton) for
SUNY Binghamton: New Delhi - Technology, Economy, and Society in India
It was one of the best experiences I've had while in college. I learned so much about the culture/people of the country, the devlopment of India, emerging markets, but most importantly had a great time experiencing a country I may necessarily have never went to. Everyone was so friendly and we accomplished so much I wouldnt trade my time there for anything.

Professor Gupta was obviously knowledgeable about the country and all of the places we visited. He communicated this in an easy to follow and understand way as we toured the different places and saw the different sites. The amount of people in the program was a good numer and my expectations were more than met. |
