Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

On-site administration of your program

Our student services coordinator, Guy, was always available to talk and would even buy you a coffee if you were feeling homesick. Everything was very organized from the minute we arrived. The program had about 50 students, which was small enough to know everyone, but big enough to still be fun.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I lived in an apartment complex in the student section of North Dunedin, two blocks north of campus. <br /><br /> The neighborhood was fine, a little loud, but mostly just a typical student section. If you were smart, it was safe. 5 minute walk to campus, 20 minute walk to town, tops. I rented a bedding package from Uni Flats for $100 and it was totally worth it. The complex was a party complex, but my room stayed clean. There were dishes and silverware in the kitchen.

There are all kinds of good restaurants around, and the supermarket was close to the flat. Meat was expensive though.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

We had group outings throughout the semester including: white water rafting, night at the movies, weekend cruise on Doubtful Sound, and three dinners. They were great!

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I didn't have any problems. IFSA-Butler takes real good care of you.

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