Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The grading system and different teaching techniques can be very frusturating for an American student who is not used to only one large assignment or test to be completed at the very end of the semester.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I really enjoyed where I lived because it was incredibly helpful to intergrate into the community.

* Food:

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

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

Finances

* 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)

Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? My debit card wouldn't work for a large portion of the trip and that was unbelievably frusturating so I would recommend really getting those issues taken care of ahead of time if at all possible.
