A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | it was little bit hard to find a housing because they didn't provide dorms that all students in the program had to find housing by themselves which was little bit uncomfortable but i got a good apartment so I didn't have any problem while i lived there. Also I had a good relationship with my roommate so I had a good time. |
