Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

My internship class wasn't structured so well, and the final grade was pretty arbitrary since we weren't told what specific criteria we were being graded on for each assignment.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Internet and phone service are downsides of Oakwood. Plus, they charged us a discount for paying for internet for the semester but still charged us when our codes expired. Oakwood is way overpriced.

* Food:

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

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)

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? It would help if you had an idea of what you want to do once you get to LA
