Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Good balance - a realistic course load, genuinely academically rigorous, but the professors still understood that we had other commitments with our internships and didn't bombard us with work. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Very hands-off. You had to put in your own effort to get anything out of it. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Good location, but the facilities were awful. I had no hot water for a month, and had to submit four work orders for the Oakwoods to do anything about it. |
| * Food: |
|
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
You had to go out of the way to meet people. The school didn't do much after orientation to help with networking. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
Good location. |
| 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) |
