|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
I felt that I was very separated, due to the nature of my program. I felt closer when I went off on my own, but all my classes were not with Irish Students |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
I never needed anything luckily, my only experience was a actually working with a health care company. |
| * Safety: |
I always felt safe |
| If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
No
Due to how Ireland is built I would choose a program that is based at Trinity college so I would be more in the center of downtown Dublin so it would be easier to just venture off- if I had the same program at trinity then I would be more likely to choose it again |
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) |
This question relies on what your budget is and you economical status and I feel that it is a rude question to ask, everyone has different budgets and $200 may be someone's budget. |
Language
| * Did your program have a foreign language component? | Yes |
