Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

It was a really good grading system and the workload was most definitely fair.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

There were no weaknesses I felt. It was truly just an amazing experience. Many great things happened and the whole program was the best part!

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Everything was good and they reated us well. No feedback.

* Food:

The food was a little lacking in the dormitorty because there wasn't really any choices, but most of us went out to eat every night anyway. For how cheap the price is, I am perfectly ok with how the food was!

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Going to Tae Kwon Do, visiting all of the different parts of Seoul, the DMZ. They were all truly memorable moments of the time I was there.

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

It was really safe, girls could walk around at 5am by themselves and they would not have to worry. Seoul is one of the safest cities in the world!

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

Finances
