London Internship Program enables independence an great experiences Past Review

CEA CAPA Education Abroad: London, England
The internship really gives you a feel for the workplace. I was able to see what daily life would be like once I had my career. It's an experience that you can never gain in a classroom.
Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The workload was light and many of the classes provided great opportunities to explore the city through the course material. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The program sets you up with amazing internships. The classes and professors are also amazing. The only problem is that you are not in classes with other British people, so meeting locals is difficult. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
The housing situation was great. The location was central so it was easy to access public transportation or walk to nearby sights. The only issue was that it was difficult to meet other British people because we lived with other Americans. |
| * Food: |
There were all types of food all over the neighborhood. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
The program only offers a few organized trips but much of the traveling and exploring around the country is done on your own. The social life is great but you are pretty much on your own in terms of meeting other British people. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
I felt safe through out my entire stay. |
| If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
Yes
|
Finances
|
* 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) |
|
Language
| If applicable, to what degree did your living situation aid your language acquisition? |

A Look Back
