Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The Art History course gave me a push to take more classes once back at Centre. The Art of Walking was a very challenging text but allowed me to read abstract text. The literature course gave me a new appreciation for english classes. I highly enjoyed coming to class each day |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
I gave 3 globes because Keffer was amazing...always willing to help. Our program coordinator was not helpful at all. Never saw her working and no one understood what her job was. Not useful to the program at all. |

* Housing:

Quaint apartment <br /><br /> Loved the girls I lived with and loved the apartment. Truly called it home |
