Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I think the attendance policy for a study abroad university is absolutely ridiculous. We are paying to attend this university, and being that most of the students are studying abroad, we are constantly traveling (one of the main reasons we came abroad). Therefore, it is absurd to hold such a strict attendance policy, we are paying for the classes, it should be our decision whether to attend or not. |
