College Prep Series
Deciding Which Course Is For You & The 'Ugly Draft' Method
Starts
Hey Guys! Judging by how much of a discussion applying to colleges and writing applications creates, I thought it would be an interesting idea for you all to get an idea from someone who has studied abroad! My writing methods are someone different to those you have met, as I come from a professional public speaking background. I'm also here to answer questions on courses and my own experiences having studied Law, Business, History and Economics in a universtity/college setting. (Aspiring International students... this is also for you!)
