* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
A truly once in a lifetime experience! Everyone I had the privilege of meeting was amazing. The sights, culture and traditions were eye opening and someone is going to have to drag me onto the plane for me to actually leave. The educational value is so tremendous because of all the history and knowledge that I have gained in only a month. A month is all to short but I'm happy with everything that has happened. |
