Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The workload was very light and manageable, but still improved my language skills a lot. You can pass with very little effort, which is the biggest difference between abroad and normal universities.

On-site administration of your program

The onsite leaders were really helpful and fun to be around. The guidebook they gave us was perfect. I walked into the API office whenever I needed something, and one of the leaders even took me to the doctor and translated for me.

The location was right by my school. The dorms were overpriced, but I enjoyed meeting the people in them.

Grocery store food was cheap and accessible. Eating out can get expensive.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

API organized the best trips out of any other program, even much more expensive ones. We flew to Rome and Sevilla.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Getting sick and going to the doctor was difficult. The safety risks are manageable with common sense.

How well did The University of Texas at Austin prepare and support you for your time abroad?

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

Many people spoke english, but not very well. I used spanish every day to get around.
