Great Expectations

A summer abroad program in France always sounded like a good idea. Be in France for a month, from May 25th to June 27th, while studying and earning credits towards your Degree.

After being wait-listed for the program, I applied to and got accepted into another university's summer abroad program.

However, when I was later informed that spots had opened up for the France program, I immediately gave up the chance to go to South Africa and deal with a University I had no ties to or experience dealing with. The rational was that being a part of a program organized by the institution would be less tedious as information would be more readily available and more readily accessible.

The courses being offered were also very enticing, Comparative Human Rights Law, French Business Law, European Union Law, and International Sports Law. I would have the opportunity to have taken courses and gain resume building knowledge of French Business and European Union Law, opportunities that are undoubtedly not readily available.
