Course recommendations
Federiga Bindi for Political Science and Kim Coston for Marketing/Merchandising courses were excellent! Cristina for Intensive Italian. I felt as if I were one of the only students to end the year with an excellent grasp of Italian - and most of my fluency is thanks to making friends with the natives.
