Edina comes to COA from Montenegro, via the Red Cross Nordic United World College. She says, "I chose COA because of the freedom that it gives to its students. I wanted a place where I can take good natural science courses, as well as courses such as Feminism and Fundamentalism, or World Religions. COA works great for me because I can involve my brain in physics problems, as well as problems of gender and religion, and always be active and engaged!" See more testimonials |
