I wish I had known...
The HES is not a good school. There were no resources and you were pretty much on your own. You might as well have been attending home school, it was a waste of time. Other than the school the expereince was awesome. Be prepared to meet people from all over the world. Also buy a bike ASAP, you won't regret it!
