Remembering Sussex Past Review

By (BUSINESS, MANAGEMENT, MARKETING, AND RELATED SUPPORT SERVICES., University of California - Riverside) for

University of Sussex: Brighton - International Summer School

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was worthwhile. I got to meet a lot of new, lasting friends, explore a lot of places, and learn about a new country that I've never been too. It was definitely an experience that will be with me forever.

Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

It was a different learning experience than the United States. They were really involved with us, and it was more of a discussion than a lecture.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

Strengths were that the professors were really engaged in teaching us new materials and tries to get us involved.

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

* Food:

Food was okay.

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

My favorite trips were traveling to other countries with the tour guys, and going to London on the weekend.

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

I felt very safe in this environment. People were kind and helpful when we were lost.

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? Do not overspend, and plan out your spending habits weekly/monthly.
