Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
the workload was much easier, which allowed us to experience London and other cites within Europe. Grading and teaching was relatively similar with a strong focus on the use of power points. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
They were great at setting up programs for the students, organization of classes and internships was done well. However, basic correspondence program administration was difficult. The program was relatively decent size and my expectations were met. |
| * Housing: |
I lived in a very safe neighborhood and the program stressed safety so that was quite comforting. I needed to by extra pillows and sheets. We were close to classes, but not nearly as close to the nightlife. |
| * Food: |
your in a major city, very easy to find and cook for yourself depending on whatever diet you may have |
