Overall
El profesorado se involucró enormemente en la tarea docente y su labor nos facilitó mucho a conseguir nuestras metas. Siempre tuvieron una relación muy cercana con los alumnos y jamas nos cerraron sus puertas si pedíamos su ayuda.

I wish I had known...
I wish I would have known to pack more lightly, and to bring more $$. Read the news for a week before you travel, to be caught up on current events.
