It was very worthwhile. Experienced many different cultures. Friendly staff. Respectable professors.

Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Workload was acceptable because professors understood that most students travel over the weekend.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

Small campus, walkable distance to everywhere. Efficient and personal ISS office.

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

* Food:

Their food was not too tasty. Everyone just ate sandwiches everyday because food was quite overpriced.

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Every weekend I visited a different European country. It was so much fun!

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

The city is pretty safe. But there are no patrols on campus so it would be better to walk with a friend at night.

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)

Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? Traveling can be expensive, especially in countries such as Paris.

Language

How would you rate your language skills at the beginning of the program? None
