An eyeopening experience in London Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The teaching style is somewhat similar to Hollins classes system. The teachers are very helpful inside and outside classroom. I wish our classes were not in a dorm's common room.

On-site administration of your program

I think the London program director is willing to listen and help with the students with classes or personal issues. I think though the classes are limited to only to Hollins students. During the spring term in London, a lot of students didn't really get to know any local British students to really learn about the local culture. I love the classes and the teaching style. However, the classroom is the dormitory's common room which is not what I expected.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I stayed with a host family but things did not work out. With the help of the program director, I moved to a private student dorm in London which is at a great location and easy to get to classes.

I usually went out for lunch and dinner so I get to try many international food.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

I love the little trips that the school arranged but we went to lots of history landmarks. However, as I mentioned above, lots of students didn't get to know anyone outside the Hollins London classroom because the classes are limited to Hollins students.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)
