Review Your Program
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
It was not a very big difference and was definitely accessible |
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Everyone was very helpful and always available to help with any questions of concerns. |
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Kensington was an amazing place to live for three weeks. I felt very safe in the neighborhood. The only thing I did not like about our program's housing was that some rooms got bed bugs. However, I understand that this is sometimes something that cannot be avoided with all of the traveling. The RD was also very helpful for me because she got me a single room since I have an allergy to peanuts. |
* Food: |
We had a 60 Pound credit card that we used. I thought this worked great! |
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
I really enjoyed the programs. I just wish I were there longer to do some of the other ones as well! |
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
* Safety: |
The only thing that made me nervous was that someone from the neighborhood wondered into our dorm one night. |
If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
Yes
