Applying to UCO

I recently filled out my application to CIDEF, and to UCO. I'm not entirely sure what CIDEF stands for at the moment, but it is basically the program at UCO for foreign exchange students. They hold an intensive language program from September to October, to get students prepared for the upcoming semester, and to keep American students on a schedule similar to that in the states (since in France, semesters typically last from October to late January).

What surprised me about these applications was how short they are. I remember when applying to my current school, I had to fill out many more pages with much more information, and I was using an abbreviated application. I wonder if the UCO an CIDEF applications are shorter because I have already been accepted to and attending an accredited university. Although now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that I was filling out an application for only one semester (in my excitement, I didn't think about this).

Overall, the process took me about twenty minutes. All I have to do now is decide what kind of host I would like to live with next fall, and turn in my application to my college's International Office. Hopefully I can manage to do this before Friday. I don't think it will be too hard.
