Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The class was very flexible and included a lot of site visits relevant to our study topic to keep us from being cooped up in a classroom and letting us learn while exploring London. I loved this approach. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Our professor was very knowledgeable about getting around the city and everything was taken care of by her as needed. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
International House, Lambeth Road. Not the newest facilities, but just fine for three weeks. <br /><br /> Single rooms, one kitchen per floor pretty sufficiently equipped. Our professor met us there in the morning, four pubs within walking distance for our group to go to, and a grocery store down the street since meals were not included. |
