Review Your Program

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I can choose variety of business classes there. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |

|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Compared to dorms in the States, it is a very small place to live in, but fortunately, I can live in a room of three people and these two roommates were not there. So, I can stay in a big room. If I have to stay with two other people in the room, it is very small. |
| * Food: |
Food is cheap, but it is better to eat at the outside where you can have better food. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Koreans are friendly. So, you won't have any problem or cultural shock in Korea. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
I once had toothache late at night, and although the university has a hospital, the pharmacy doesn't even has a painkiller. |
| * Safety: |
It is quite safe even to walk late at night |
| If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
Yes

* 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 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost) |
Food costs about 3$ in a cafeteria whereas it might cost about $5-$7 when you eat outside. |
