It was worth while, but i just wish the education part would have been more helpful.

Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The grading system was unfair because i knew all of the information, but since my writing abilities aren't as high as others, my grade wasn't what I deserved.

On-site administration of your program

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)
