Programs have distinctive characteristics, like students, and thus it is important to find the right 鈥渕atch鈥 between the student and the program.聽聽Your friend, or sister, or teacher may have participated in a program that was 鈥渁bsolutely great鈥 for them but may not be a good fit for聽you.聽 Thus, a glowing recommendation from someone who went on a program is not necessarily the most appropriate approach to choosing a program.
