Review Your Program

Workload was not that much. Everyone thinks it might be difficult because the program is in country where English is not primary language, but it is opposite of that. |

It was a great program. Learned a lot, visited many places, and made a lot of friends. |

Field Trips were amazing. We went to places we didn't even know would exist. We had local food on those field trips, and it was the most delicious food I ever had. |

* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |

Yes
