This study abroad experience was monumental in my life and I would do it again and again. I cannot wait to visit the UK and Swansea again soon!
Review Your Program
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The grading system was interesting, with a very detached atmosphere of professor to studnt interaction. All coursework was handed into the office and not to professor. |
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The administrative assets worked well and had no problems. I feel we had a great program size and it was a fun time to get to know all other students. |
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
|
* Food: |
very good food, cooking on your own which was independence i wanted. |
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
there were plenty of field trips and excursions, as well as school sponsored events and clubs |
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
* Safety: |
Swansea is a very safe city, big enough to feel like a city, but small enough to know your way around quickly. |
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) |
