My son was accepted FYSA last year. He had a great first semester experience in Europe and has other FYSA friends who had different experiences that were all positive. If a student takes classes during that semester it is easy to graduate with the rest of the class. If anyone wants to know more email me at jlcafritz@aol.com.
