Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The education standards were very low. It is very easy to pass or get a good grade without doing much work. I did not feel that it challenged me. For example their language classes are only taken place once a week and I do not think this will help the students learn much/ excel in their language skills. In Binghamton, foreign language classes are taken place 4-5 days a week, with weekly quizzes. I feel this is more of an effective way of teaching a language

On-site administration of your program

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

looks like a prision <br /><br /> good for student interaction but it is not very clean or welcoming.

Food is terrible. Meat didnt taste like the meat they are suppose to taste like.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Safety in newcastle is alarming. There were constant attacks of foreign students. During the semester my chinese teacher was harassed by someone throwing rocks at her and I know someone who got their laptop mugged. I never felt safe walking on campus at night and always called the security shuttle to take me back to my dorm.

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

I learned a lot of new Australian slangs and lingo.
