Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

If I could do it again, I would have stayed in the student residence. My "host family" was actually a bording house ran by an old lady. The room was clean and the food was fine, but it wasn't an extra-Spanish cultural experience, and it was more expensive than the student residence.

* Food:

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Studying at the language school gave me the oportunity to meet people from all over the world. It was wonderful to get a peek into other cultures.

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? No

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 acquisition improvement?

A Look Back

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? The academic part and social part of this program were superb. The administration part was less helpful. I definately recomend this progam.
