Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
It wasn't too easy or too hard. It's all the stuff you are used to, but way more interesting class discussion. I loved my classes. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
|
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
I had an amazing host family. They lived about an hour outside the city but it was all worth it. |
| * Food: |
It was pretty good, but also pretty heavy. There are lots of places all over the place where you can get whatever you want. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
The program goes above and beyond to help you feel just like a Danish citizen. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
All health issues are covered for free under the program insurance and under the Danish government. I easily went to the doctor, pharmacy, and ER without issues and they were very helpful |
| * Safety: |
I never really felt unsafe. |
| 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) |
It's very expensive there. |
| Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? | It really depended on the week. But more than $200 I think. |
Language
| * Did your program have a foreign language component? | No |
