Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Workload was manageable and the professors were good. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Was really good except for the fact that they did the orientation after we just got there...all jet lagged and all. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Beds were uncomfortable and the room itself had no control over the heater so nights were either really hot or really cold. Really didn't like this aspect of the experience. |
| * Food: |
Food was edible if a little spicy at times. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Pony trekking in Wales was one of the best trips the school had and was a huge blast. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
Very safe for tourists. |
| 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) |
