An eye opening experience Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The work load was similar to my home university but the grading was a bit harder. The teachers left you alone more with your work they did not stay on top of you to make sure you were getting your work done.

On-site administration of your program

When we got to Newcastle no one really showed us around to get us where we needed to be. So we ended up missing out on a few important things.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Lived in a dorm with co-ed floors. The rooms were singles and the bathrooms were shared. I brought over sheets but other wise you would have had to buy them along with the blanket we bought.

The food on campus was terrible, only 3 options to choose from and if you got there too late you were stuck with whatever was left over.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

The people we lived with were so nice and great to be around. They had so many fun events for our dorm so it was great to interact with people.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I never felt unsafe walking around campus.

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