A Look Back

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? Just do it. Forget about your worries with transfer credits or graduating on time. I took a full course along with a 20 hour a week internship and I still had loads of free time. The classes were built around making your experience the best possible. Your work will be minimal giving your maximum time to explore. You will meet great people from all over the world and your experience will be life changing. Just do it!
