Kasteel Well Fall Review Past Review
By Kyle B (Broadcast Journalism., Emerson College) for
Emerson College: Kasteel Well: The Netherlands
It was not only worthwhile but I don't regret one thing I did while I was there. Would do something similar if I could in a heartbeat.
Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
About the same as the home campus. A lot more of an emphasis on reading instead of writing though. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The staff was incredibly helpful at all times. A weakness for the program would be how far away you are from everything in the small town of Well but it's also a strength as it sets the program aside from the rest. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Housing was also a positive experience. Living in a castle was surreal at times but in the end I felt the same comfort as I would in my bed at home. |
| * Food: |
There wasn't too much variety in meals but there was always something to eat so it wasn't too bad. Just a little repetitive toward the end seeing that it always seemed to be the same things. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
The ability to travel anywhere on weekends was such an amazing facet of the program. I had plenty of different cultural experiences, none of which I can say I regret. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
It was a small town so I would say I always felt very safe. |
| 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) |
