Bill is awesome.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Found a flat with 4 others. It was nice and in a good location. <br /><br /> We lived off of Oxford Street so there was always a lot going on and plenty to see.

Lots to do and see with others.

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

Finances

(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? Food was expensive, and day to day living costs definitely added up more than anticipated.
