Review Your Program

Great! Manageable workload, interesting courses. I took a science lab also and really enjoyed it, although I normally hate science.

The study abroad office was awesome! Super helpful and friendly.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Cooked my own food.

Very safe.
