Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Academics were very easy. Classes were huge and there was only one test at the end of the semester. This was fine though because I did not go to Ghana for the academic experience.

On-site administration of your program

The CIEE staff was fairly helpful but in many situations things were out of their hands and they did the best they could to think on their feet.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I enjoyed my housing facilities but wish that I had an international room mate instead of a student from my program. Besides that they were very comfortable and ISH2 was a great location on campus.

Personally I just did not enjoy the food. It was very spicy and hot which I dont enjoy. My favorite part about the food was the fresh fruit that was sold across the street from my dorm. I would have starved without it.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

We had many planned trips, group dinners, and check in points which were immeasurably helpful in navigating the different culture. The over night trip to Cape Coast was my favorite.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Everyone gets sick in Ghana but the program on site staff were prepared to deal with type of issue.

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

I probably won't have to speak Twi again, but learned enough to have conversations with Ghanians and show them I was trying to be a part of their culture.
