A Look Back

* What did you like most about the program?
  • Field trips by CIEE
  • Exploring new cities, countries, cultures, etc.
  • Courses / Classes
* What could be improved?
  • Giving students all similar class schedules so it would be easier to travel in groups (not sure how realistic that is, but it would have been nice)
* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? Be open to new things, be more outgoing than you normally are, my only regrets are the times I didn't do something.
