When can I go back? Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Both the professors that worked at Harlaxton, as well as the professors that traveled to Harlaxton to teach, were excellent. Although I only took three classes, each professor were clearly experts in their field of academia. My favorite was my Public Relations class, I imagine I'll remember much of what Dr. Watson taught me in that class.

On-site administration of your program

The only problem I had was that they withheld some information, like flight info, lodging, and occasional updates, until only a month in advance which made it difficult to feel comfortable that everything was nice and done. Other than that, everything was pretty smooth.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Was in the carriage house, which was only a bit of a downside since I wasn't living IN the manor, but it still had its perks. It was nice and quiet in there.

Don't expect anything special. The best thing they had was pizza and garlic bread. There were some other good options, but most of the time I considered ordering pizza or eating cereal.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Grantham was great, Nottingham was only half an hour away. The local cultural trips were entertaining and educational.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Fortunately, I was fine except for allergies hitting me big time, but the nurse was only ever at her office for a couple hours a day, and she didn't really do much about anything from what I was told.

The staff at Harlaxton are sticklers for safety, not just for the students but also the manor. They work hard to make sure no harm comes to anything or anyone.

Yes, yes, yes. The school is fantastic, the events that they put together are incredibly fun, and the student body is big enough that you meet a lot of people but small enough that you become friends with at least 85% of them.

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

Definitely save a lot of money, as much as you can. Make sure not to spend too much money on souvenirs. Plan ahead of time what other countries you plan on going to and how much it'll cost. (I'd suggest at least $4,000 and that's if you're a relatively frugal shopper).
