I wish I had known...
That this place only has about 70 students and the campus is about 3 rooms!

Stay home.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
They should just close up. It went down so much while I was there (budget cuts?) There is few staff and the courses they offer on the web really aren't given because there are very few teachers. I would ask for a guarantee in writing before going that the courses you need will not be cancelled. Go to Spain but find a better place.

I heard Sufolk was better but it really is depressing. Demand photos that show "the campus" - and you will see that it is not at all like the web.

Personal spending habits
You spend money so fast, it's amazing. I think it's because the money is different than you're used to...so it doesn't seem like you're spending as much.

Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
Don't buy drinks at clubs, they are not worth it...buy drinks at a liquor store. Just because clothing is cheaper doesn't mean you have to buy it!

Studying abroad was one of the best things i ever did. It changed my out look on the world. I believe that i learned more from traveling around Europe (by doing) than by any class that i have ever taken. I also made some great networking connections around the world.
