This program is a very intense, yet flexible program that requires a student to learn many things, both academically and culturally, in a short period of time. Students must be open and possess a strong sense of self-discipline. They must have good “people skills” and be able to learn and adapt quickly to the new living experience as well as fulfill scholastic requirements as expected. They must do so while facing the challenges of living away from home, possibly for the first time, with many new freedoms and experiences to digest.
Briefly, in your own words, how do you think this student might function in this new cultural and academic situation? What problems do you foresee he/she might have? What strengths might he/she have that would aid him/her in overcoming obstacles and learning?
