Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The university was not top-notch. It met my needs just fine, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for a prestigious academic experience. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Wonderful program staff. Students outside of my program were jealous of all the "extras" (group meals, cultural activities, and trips) that were included for me. Close, small group. |
| * Housing: |
Non-dormitory, student housing. |
| * Food: |
I shopped and cooked for myself. No issues. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Outstanding cultural events, social activities, and trips. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
My housing was very secure, and in a decent area of the city. |
|
* Home Institution Advising:
How well did Mount Aloysius College prepare and support you for your time abroad? |
|
Finances
|
* Money: How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?
(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost) |
