| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | Take a lot more money then what is advised to take because it will run out quickly and it will not be anywhere close to what was recommended. Try not to take all of your money at once but have someone transfer it over monthly. |
Language
| How would you rate your language skills at the beginning of the program? | None |
| If applicable, to what degree did your living situation aid your language acquisition? |
