More about the first year program. I didn't know much about it, since I didn't get a lot of information about it.

That there is no public transporation.

I wish that I had known more about abroad programs ealier. I did go abroad once, but if I could go back and do it again, I would have gone twice. I didn't really think about it as an option until I was a junior.
