Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Too much of the work was given at the very end of the semester. I think it should have been more spread out over the course of the semester. Also, there was too much work assigned to be due the day after travel break ended, not giving people enough time to work on it. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
OSA was really awesome. I didn't think the fine system was a completely fair or effective means to enforce the rules. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Too small of showers in the main castle. |
| * Food: |
The dining hall should be open longer. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Plan your trips once you get there, but look into the eurail pass in america because it's cheaper and is very useful and makes it easy, and cheap to get around europe if you use it right. |
