Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
It was a lot of work for a short period of time, but I completely understand why. I learned so much and the professors were incredible. The language barrier was a little difficult at points, but that's just something that comes with studying abroad. Loves it and had such a positive learning experience. |

* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Very well-planned out, good size and my expectations were exceeded. |

* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
For independent travel I utilized hotels and hostels. Neighborhood was great in Well, very safe, nice place to live and study. |

It would help a bit if on the questionnaire we filled out before coming here, if they include a question on whether or not we eat fish. That was the only tough part for non-fish eaters. |
