Life in London Past Review
By John W (Politics, University of Puget Sound) for
GEO: London -Study Abroad Programs in London
Its always worthwhile to spend time in another country, even if its not too different from the U.S. From London it's really easy to get out and see Europe.

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Not too much work, they'd prefer that you see the city than spend all your time studying. My classes were mostly discussion-based. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The program was a little small, but all of the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
|
| * Food: |
If you live with an English family, you probably won't enjoy the family dinners. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
The program took us to several different locations throughout the UK, including Stonehenge, Salisbury and Edinborough. The program also makes it very easy to travel on your own during the weekend. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
They had a long discussion on security the first day. I never felt unsafe in London. |
| 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) |
