Review Your Program

* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The program is excellent, it was a great experience. The Administration did help with some of the visa applications and housing (if you choose to live in the dorms). Be prepared to be on your own as far as figuring out class schedules and due dates. Classes only meet once a week so you really must set your own schedule. |
