Four Country Capstone: Showing Us How Many People Are in Our World Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

On-site administration of your program

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I wouldn't recommend the Marco Polo Hostel for future groups. It was loud on our floor, the beds were made but did not look clean and the area did not leave me feeling comfortable.

The meals included in the set price we paid were worth it. The meal i enjoyed the most was the traditional Greek meal.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

During the stay in Romania there were several activities planned by Romanian students which was a pleasant surprise. They did a great job, put a lot of though into the activities and were fun to be around. I enjoyed the sites that we saw such as the monasteries in Greece and the Botanical Garden in Romania. In my personal opinion there were far to many museums. From the chatter among the group a lot of other people seemed to agree. It was frustrating to not be interested in a required field trip or event and then find it wasn't included in the price like we were told. It would have been more fun for more of us to do more activities that the locals partake in in the different countries rather than be in a museum.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I felt safe in every area except for the area surrounding the Marco Polo Hostel. The area surrounding the hostel did not even come close to the beauty of Budapest that we saw while on the tour bus in Budapest.
