Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

It's really tough but a challenge and worth it if you want to learn something.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

Everything was great.

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I had a horrible experience with a room mate who basically forced me to move out of the house and live with a friend. I feel as though it could have been a better experience because I was bullied by another male room mate as a female.

* Food:

Great.

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

I didn't attend any events.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Everything was fine.

If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? No

Finances

A Look Back

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? I would tell every student to stand up for themselves. If they have a problem with something, they should always talk to University so they are not alone.
