The entire experience was very well organized and greatly appreciated. Travel was so simple. Amanda is an excellent teacher and very content knowledgeable. The food and accommodations were perfect. I didn't want to get out; wanted to spend time studying. I was able to cook in my suite. This really helped with costs too.

Our instructor had a vast knowledge of the subject matter, and was able to convey the material to our class in a highly effective way. He had good pacing, a clear voice (that was easy to understand despite his Canadian accent) and spoke to the level of the class. Even though we covered a lot of material. He kept it interesting, and spaced out breaks so that we didn't get tired or feel overwhelmed.
