Review Your Program

* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
|
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
it was difficult as a third year student to live with first years, especially because of the drinking culture. it was also difficult because the college we were living in was so far away from everything else. |
| * Food: |
The dining cards are ridiculous. They were too strict about when we could eat, and if we didn't use the meals, we lost them even though we paid for them. It was a rip off. It was not conducive to my schedule, and it was annoying trying to plan my day around using the meal car. The food is not good food, and the portions are small considering what we paid for them. It would have been much easier to just cook for myself all the time or go out. |
