It was nice however, to get a late night McFlurry once in a while to remind me of home.

How was the school differ- ent from Bryant University? My school was different from Bryant University mainly in terms of class structure and grading. Classes met once a week and included both a lecture and seminar section. Each section was taught by a different professor and the average amount of time for each class was roughly two hours. The grading system was also dif- ferent even though the scale was from one to one hun- dred. A grade of seventy or above is considered an “A” but it is rare that a student ever receives a grade close to one hundred. This is because an assignment deserving a grade close to one hundred is considered publishable work and the student should possibly be teaching the class instead of taking it.

Would you study abroad again given the opportu- nity? I would definitely study abroad again if I had the op- portunity. It is something I feel every college student should get to experience. By studying abroad you learn you are capable of doing and building upon many things such as your ability to be in- dependent, adaptive, and confident in your decision making.
