An old city of culture and fun. Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

It was a fantastic experience of cultural immersion with some academic rigor. My language skills (Arabic) improved immensely.

On-site administration of your program

The on-site administration responded to emergencies well and was helpful with all questions.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Living in a host family is a difficult situation sometimes but the program helped whenever it was needed.

Jordanian food is fantastic!

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

The program does a good job making sure students are culturally immersed and experience all parts of Jordanian culture through trips, food, shows, classes, and families.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

n/a. Didn't have any health concerns, other than a bout of stomach flu in the winter. The program accommodated for missed courses. No vaccines were needed.

Amman is a generally safe city. Women face verbal harassment.

The program immersed us in culture and it improved my language skills.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

0 = No encouragement, 5 = frequent encouragement to use the language
