hudi, great job!!!!! couldnt have done better myself. some things i might add……
1)majority of the classes were really great, the teachers EXCELLENT!!! the teachers are there to help you. whatever you feel like you need from them, they are THERE FOR YOU!!!
2) the schedule varies from day to day, depending on what extra curricular activities are going on during that time of year, yemai iyun and vaad. but overall, there is a LOT of free time. there is more than enough time to do what you want to do.
3)as for connecting with teachers, i personally am close to a few of them and have kept in touch since i came back. as i said before, THEY ARE THERE FOR YOU.
4)what i liked:
– the staff is really open minded and whatever you need, you know you could count on them. nothing will shock them and they will help you with anything.
-there are girls from all over and i like to define seminar as a family, cuz thats what it really is in my eyes. at least our year, everyone was friends with everyone else.
– there are places to go in the dorm, a really nice lounge, with couches and a piano, dining room, etc.
I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING OFFHAND THAT I DIDNT LIKE!!!!!! its deffinately an adjustment in the beginning, but its well worth it!!! go for it!!!
