Challenging, Rewarding, Extremely Educational, Life Changing, Eye Opening: Study Abroad. Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Workload was significantly less, however I was taking less demanding classes. The grading seemed to be about the same, but perhaps a little more lenient. Teaching methods were comparable to that in the US.

On-site administration of your program

Very accessible as there was an office in town we could go to at anytime and ask question or use computers. Very knowledgable about Prague, as they were natives.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Neighborhood was great, as it was part residential and college campus. Dorm was creepy though and really confusing to navigate through at first. Walls were very thin so you could hear outside noise. Because the plumbing system was terrible, a rolled up towel had to be placed outside of the shower to absorb overflowing water.

Food was great, but fruits and vegetables were rarely served with meals, so we had to get these at the grocery market

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Everything was amazing.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

It was safe as long as you practiced common sense.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

I could practice with everyone else in my program, native students at the dorm etc., and, while I probably could have gotten by with English at many places, it would not have been as satisfying so I tried to use the host countries language as much as possible, even though what I knew was limited.
