|
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | I LOVED this program. We had a decent balance between school and free time. We had the chance to travel to so many places in such a short amount of time; we were never bored. We were given a lot of freedom and were able to explore on our own. If I could repeat my summer again, I would do it in a heartbeat. I've made great friends—we still keep in touch and travel to visit each other. Great experience, one of the best summers of my life. |
