  • My experience was worthwhile and along the way I made amazing long lasting friends, lectures were dry at times but the material of course was so amazing and self-taught. At time lectures were the only thing that mattered the most. City life was great and I had a nice time in all. Thanks for everything, I enjoyed my time. There is always so much to do and everything was pretty amazing. The social life was great.
