Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I was never really sure of how I stood in the class grade wise. There wasn't a way of knowing that. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
|
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
I felt very safe living in Weerona College. I really enjoyed how I was able to know everyone that I lived with by name and face. Not alot of places do that anymore. |
| * Food: |
The food was very different from home. We have more fatty foods. Most of the foods I eat overseas were fresh foods and healthier choices. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Traveling around the country, I was able to see the difference in fashion. When in the city setting people were dressed more formal where as in the rural areas not so much. Also, there was a change in attitude and look as you moved farther down the coast. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
There wasn't alot of talk about health issues other than at orientation. When it came to safety, I felt very comfortable being in Wollongong. I wasn't afraid to be living there. |

Yes
