Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The teachers were great, the classes I took were appropriate and I was given the perfect amount of workload. There were not too many differences in the educational system because I was being taught by UND professors. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
They were very helpful and my expectations were met! |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
|
| * Food: |
We did not have any type of meal plan therefore we had to buy our own groceries and provide our own meals. We were supplied with a fully equipped kitchen. The grocery store was relatively close and you can easily find any type of food you are searching for. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Everything was very memorable! We went on several field trips to Oslo which were all educational and fun. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
Moss is a very safe city. However, I still recommend always traveling with someone when in a foreign country. |
| 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) |
