I felt very safe at all times. I went out on my own several times to local shopping mall and the like. With that said, I am a large male which adds to my sense of security. However, I never felt as if I was in a bad situation or that others were seeking to cause me harm in any way.

If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? Yes
