It was an alright experience. I wish there was more diversity because I like learning about different backgrounds and cultures, fremd lacked that. I really liked how focused fremd is on academics though. The intense rigor and focus on academics helped me get the motivation I needed to work hard and helped me make friends with similar goals, so we could push each other together.
