Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Workload was manageable and the professors were good. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Was really good except for the fact that they did the orientation after we just got there...all jet lagged and all. |
| * Housing: |
Beds were uncomfortable and the room itself had no control over the heater so nights were either really hot or really cold. Really didn't like this aspect of the experience. |
| * Food: |
Food was edible if a little spicy at times. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Pony trekking in Wales was one of the best trips the school had and was a huge blast. |
