Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I took a lot of interesting classes. I had work, but it was not too much to handle. It is very different. The professors are not as accessible and when handing in a paper it is a lot more formal in that you need to sign off and hand it in to a specific department, which then delivers it to your professor. |
