Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
|
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
They were helpful! |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
A single in a dorm within Pembroke College along with other American students and freshers. <br /><br /> It's like any other dorm, but you have a sink in your bedroom! The location of Pembroke College is perfect - right near the center of town - and next to Sainsbury's market. |
| * Food: |
You have very little choice with the College food - either a vegetarian or non-vegetarian meal. And the quality is not what we are used to at Tufts. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
I couldn't have enjoyed myself more! |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
|
| If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
No
|
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) |
|
| Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? | 50 pounds |
| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | Really depends. We got a generous stipend of 1000 pounds a term, but it goes quickly because a big chunk of it goes to pay for the meal plan. |
