Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I didn't learn much in my class, we basically just watched movies, but the internship experience was invaluable. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Very hands off, but I didnt mind...I had no desire for them to be hands on. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
The Oakwoods were alright (for the first month, then you hate it). |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
They organized a few events. |
| * Safety: |
I felt safe in the Oakwoods, even though there was some car break ins during my stay. |
| If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
No
|
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) |
|
Language
| Language acquisition improvement? |
|
A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Even though you wont get anything out of your classes and the Oakwoods sucks, interning out in LA is the best thing you can do if you really want to be in this industry. |
