Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Amazing. Staff administrative and teaching were always available and so helpful. This was way above what I expected and made the experience positive and fun. One thought - the Hebrew University send their beginner intensive Students an online program to assist with knowing a few things prior to commencement. This would be so helpful to have also. |

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
