Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
This was by far the best experience of my life. I learned a lot in the classroom but i definitely learned a lot more simply by experiencing London on a day-to-day basis and all the other major cities and countries i visited while I was in Europe. I enjoyed learning about myself, different cultures, and global business while in Europe |

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

| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | Bring a lot of money! if going to London transfer your banking account to the Bank of America because it will cost less to withdraw money out of the Barclays ATM machine. Every penny i spent abroad was well worth it and i have no regrets. |
