* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The professor I had treated us like we were still in high school, not seeming to realize that we were all seniors. |

* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
I think there could have been more trying to connect us with industry professionals. |

* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
The Oakwoods apartment was fine, but the parking situation was horrific. There was never enough parking. |

Emerson should make an effort to provide food for students, similar to Boston's C-Store. |
