Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I was only enrolled in two courses during my study abroad. German language occupied most of my school time but the workload outside of class was reasonable and extremely helpful for gaining a better understanding of the German culture. My only other class was very informative and class time was used well. |
