Not much culture shock, still worthwhile Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Not much interaction between the Academic Directors and the Students. Also, the facilities weren't open at convient times for studying or working.

On-site administration of your program

It had some organizational problems. I thought that there should have been some type of facility that would have been open later that wasn't too far to get to.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I loved my host mom. She was really accomadating and gave me a lot of opportunities to talk to her and get to know her and her friends and family.

The food wasn't bad at all. I just got a little bit bored with pasta, bread and soup all the time.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

WE had 3 trips: to Bern, Switzerland. Paris and Brussels and then to Croatia. Each place had its own distinct flavor and culture.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Safety was a high priority during thsi trip

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

Most people did speak English, yet I attempted my French skills whenever possible. It was a little difficult because I was in beginners French with no prior knowledge of the language beforehand.
