Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

I was cultured in ways I wouldn't have been if I had stayed on the Ithaca College New York campus

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I lived in a flat with 3 other girls who were in the same program. <br /><br />

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

Finances

Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? London is really expensive. Keep in mind that you have to pay rent (short lets are more expensive than longer stays), transportation (highly recommended if you want to travel throughout the city a lot), laundromats are expensive (hopefully you will have a machine in your flat), food (some groceries are cheap, you can find great deals at markets), and personal spending (shopping, dining out, coffee, drinks, etc add up).

Language

How would you rate your language skills at the beginning of the program? None
