Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The workload was actaully about the same if not a bit lighter depending on the course. The grading system was the same and easy to understand.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

The program was great all of the staff was very helpful and were always there for the students. I have no complaints about the program at all it was a great experience.

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

* Food:

Our program was given a weekly allowance which was great. We could go and use it any where we wanted to. It was a good thing because you can go out into the nieghborhood and try all the variety of foods.

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Loved it the program offfered lots of day trips. I recommend doing them they are priced reasonably and give you the oppurtunity to see many things.

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

The staff makes sure you are safe at all times and are willing to help in any way.

If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? Yes

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)

A Look Back

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? Every person can benefit from this program in their own way. Doing something like studying abroad is really about the attitude you have going into it. You have to be aware you must be willing to adapt to the different culture only then can you really enjoy it!
