Review Your Program

* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Minus the bugs in the apartment, it held up quite well. There is mold on the bathroom ceiling. |

Food around here is good, but the same places get tiring after a while. Other food places are a long walking distance |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:

I felt like I hung around the people in the Global Semesters program more than with other people. Theyre still great people, just not much chance/opportunities around here for interacting with local culture |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
lame |

nothing ever happens here |

No
This place was nice but it gets boring after a while, I would go somewhere else. |

The Nearly Native or Trail BlazerCraving the most authentic experience possible, perhaps you lived with a host family or really got in good with the locals. You may have felt confined by your program requirements and group excursions. Instead, you'd have preferred to plan your own trips, even skipping class to conduct your own 'field work.' |
