A Look Back

* What did you like most about the program?
  • Travelling
  • Immersion in UK life
* What could be improved?
  • Choice of classes
* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? I was surprisingly well-informed before I left. That was perfect. I would just recommend a heads-up about what to do in cases of disaster. I was in Scotland during the Paris attacks but can't imagine how scared the kids in Paris must have been.
