A Look Back

* What did you like most about the program?
  • The manor
  • The chance to go on weekend trips
  • My class
* What could be improved?
  • The way the school tries to develop student friendship
  • The house competitions
* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? How many people are going to the manor and where are they from. I felt like I was going in as a minority (as a outside student not from UE) but really there was far more non UE students there than I thought

The Avid Adventurer
The wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal.
