The professors that take the time to get to know each student, as well as the small class sizes, made the experience much more personal and allowed for more connections to be made.  The numerous international students in the program have helped me to understand more about diverse cultures and beliefs, which I have found particularly interesting.

How did you benefit from the Prep4University program?

Although Prep4uni has many facets of benefits, the biggest one was networking. CBS generally has a very strong networking awareness, but it started for me in Prep4uni and the networks I have made then are the ones that are still helping me today. Because CBS has such a small private atmosphere you get along with the people very quickly because you sit with them for many classes. Prep4uni even more so, as the people that are in your class, have all the classes together and therefore everything becomes more family like.
