Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Classes were not especially hard, but they were VERY interesting!! |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Everyone was super welcoming, friendly, and helpful! |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Very nice, apartment style dorms |
| * Food: |
The food was great, but there were not a ton of places to eat cheaply and there was not a dining hall/meal plan that I know about. There were some good cafes on campus that were fun to go to, and there was a super market a bus ride away. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Somewhat, but being up on the mountain also kept you somewhat separated. The events the school held helped though! |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
School provided health care, which was nice |
| * Safety: |
Very safe, checkpoints all over campus. When national tensions heightened security got tighter. |
| 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) |
Food and weekend traveling were the biggest costs |

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
