Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Workload was low, the grading system is "A B is a good grade." Which isn't good in America, get ready to not have homework. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
It was not academically challenging at all. The internship programs were mediocre at best, but the friends I made are for forever. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
|
| * Food: |
Don't eat out a lot, it gets expensive. Fresh food is hard to find unless you go to the markets. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
We went to Bath, Stonehenge, Liverpool, and Edinburgh. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
The doctors at Urgent Care are really nice. |
| 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? | Be careful. London is expensive. |
Language
