Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The classes were useful and informational but extremely easy and not challenging enough.

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Did not enjoy living in the Oakwoods. Extremely poor location, parking was very difficult. The new Emerson LA center will be in a much better location.

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

LA is a lot of fun with and there are so many things to do!

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? Yes
