Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

You will be pushed, challenged, and think at times that you know nothing. You will be forced to defy all thought that considers you a failure and pursuit with hard work and effort, and if you grasp the material and are intelligent, you will prove to yourself at sometime that you are brilliant. There are high expectations and having no right answer is common, so long as you show your work. Your professors(TA's) are the brightest people in the world and they speak down to you. This can be hard on someone with a weak and insecure personality. These teachers will respect you if you continue to challenge and push through the work.

On-site administration of your program

I hate Arcadia. I felt that they are a business that produces a product in a small market that has little competition. I think that for the amount of money paid, there staff is incompetent. I did not find their orientation informative, beside my stay in the country (which the program did not "really" have a play in). The workers are slackers and for the benefits they receive, they are lazy and dull. I wish there was more guidance and a more informative reference point at Arcadia.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

It was OK. It was warm, but the apartment has its quirks. I was happy to leave it. It was cold in the winter and the staff was not helpful. They, too, were slackers and did not expel effort to their customers. <br /><br /> READ ABOVE The location is filthy...many bummers and beggars. Interesting scene!!

I cook and eat and after, I sleep.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

It was great. If you want to find community, you simply sign up for all the clubs!

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I was fine my health...there are loads of pharmacies in Europe/UK where you can seek out assistance.

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

My language was English...I speak French in the moonlight to beautiful women, but primarily English by day and in the classrooms...!! I am a natural I guess!
