Dreamy San Francisco Past Review
By Stefan P (BBA Business Marketing, James Madison University) for
Study Abroad Programs Worldwide
San Francisco is a melting pot of culture which is why I was able to experience more than my own while there. I enjoyed the exposure and relive it everyday in my head.

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The internship that I had this past summer changed my life and the real world application has enabled me to excel not only in my classes, but in my professional business fraternity. The professional seminars gave me a different perception of life and have really driven my persistence at school this year. "Always appreciate" - Mike Robbins. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The staff was phenominal and really cared about my progression in life. (finding my dream!) I even went and stayed with the placement director in Seattle after the program! |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Town House |
| * Food: |
I ate what I cooked from Trader Joes, and became more proficient than I already was. I even learned new ways to cook from my Vietnamese roommate. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
The people made the experience for me and they are still affecting me now. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
The administration was right there if I needed anything, but more importantly, they were there if something extreme occurred. For example, when another Dreamer, Alli, broker her foot the first week. |
| 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) |
