Experience first, studies second ;-) Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

There's no doubt that everyone at UCL (students and professors) was highly intelligent--the general interest in fostering an academic community and discussion, however, was strikingly absent... it was very clear that people were there for themselves (students for a degree, professors for their research).

On-site administration of your program

The administration was extremely disorganized, especially when it came to affiliate student policies and deadlines.... information was constantly lacking, conflicting, or administered way too late. My final easy portfolio due date was only made know four days in advance.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Very nice if you can pay.

I never ate on campus or through the school's dining program, but there's plenty of options throughout the city.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

London's such an international city that it's hard to really feel like an outsider.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Overall I felt very safe. Theft, however, is extremely prevalent in student areas. I had a friend who had her cell phone ripped from her hand right outside of her dorm. This is a common occurrence in the city, even within otherwise considered "safe" neighborhoods.

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

London is REALLY expensive no matter how you cut it.
