By (Journalism., Ithaca College) for

Ithaca College: London - Ithaca College London Center

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I am a different person.

Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Light workload for the most part, challenging grading system

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

It was perfect.

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

* Food:

I have a very bland diet so it was easy for me to find food.

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

I went on all but one trip arranged by the school and I went to many of the organized sporting events. I recommend doing it all.

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

Very safe, I never got sick.

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? Know the exchange rate.

Language

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