* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Only because of my internship. Without this, I would not have felt like I interacted at all with the local culture. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
The local health care system in London was very easy to use and get access to. Arcadia was extremely helpful when it came to this as well. Twice I was sick during my time abroad and both times they set up my doctors appointments and sent the payment for them. |

* Money: How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?
(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost) |
London is a very expensive city in general. You could probably do it a lot cheaper than I did, but you probably not have the best experience. |
| Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? | 250 |
Language
