One of the worst courses I have ever had!.
No agenda / syllabus..
The instructor tells personal stories more than explaining what the things are..
The course should be lighting design, found out that it was arts and colouring course...
Using poems as examples that barely native speakers understand...
Waste of money and time..

Studied abroad here for the term last spring and it was one of the most full and busy semesters of my life. Great people, faculty, staff, and programs; it was an amazing experience, life changing and eye opening.

It has opened my eyes to all different types of theatre and I will be sad to graduate as I have had such an amazing time! The staff and students I have got to meet and work with in the past two and a half years really are exceptional.
