Amazing 3 weeks with full of lifelong memories ! Past Review
By Huseyn Abdullayev (ADA University) - abroad from 07/15/2018 to 08/04/2018 with
University of Warwick in London: Warwick Summer School
First of all, I learnt a lot from academic perspective. I gained deep knowledge about my course (International Business and Finance) which for sure will be useful for my future studies. When it comes to social side, it is even more worthwhile than academic, cause that is a unique chance where you expose yourself to such a multicultural environment, make new friends, discover new country, new places, improve your language and so on. It is definitely worthwhile to spend your summer in such a productive way.

The Academic or LinguistYou went abroad with specific academic goals in mind; the program credentials and rigor of your coursework abroad were very important to you. You had a great time abroad, but never lost sight of your studies and (if applicable) were diligent with your foreign language study. Good for you! |
