Tons of readings in this class. Takes up a lot of time. But there is only a short test at the very end and you don't have to take a final in the exam period which is a month long. The exam is really easy too.

Host Country Program Administration Overall

**On-site administration of your program:

**Please explain the program's strengths and weaknesses:

This program was amazing. Compared to the other programs that were here, we got so much more for the same price. The administration always emailed you back within a few hours if you had any problems and were always willing to work with you.

Housing Overall

**Housing satisfaction:

Food Overall

**Food satisfaction:

**Comment:

We didn't have a real food card. With the "food card" we were given, we were allowed to spend it on anything and therefore most people spent it on alcohol or shopping. The grocery stores have everything though and that's where I usually went. A normal week I would spend about $50 on food.

Safety and Health Overall

**How well were health issues addressed through your program?

**Safety:

**Comment:

I had to go to the doctors a few times and they were always willing to see me the same day I called. There is also a pharmacy on campus which makes it very easy to pick up medicine.

Money Overall

**How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?

General Assessment Overall

**Words of wisdom:

This program was better than all the other ones that studied at Macquarie University. The kids that went through other groups wished they had been with AIFS.

**Overall satisfaction with your study abroad experience:

**Was your study abroad experience worthwhile?

My study abroad experience was the time of my life. I wouldn't have changed a thing.
