Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The teachers and the core programs were great. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Everyone was extremely accessible and were supportive when necessary. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
The dorm was okay. If it wasn't for the group of DIS students I was with, I would have moved out right away. I did not like having a roommate, especially because she never left the room and did not make any friends. Our internet situation was not great, but that problem was dealt with. The dorm was not pretty or clean (the bathroom was gross), but it was live-able. |

All the food provided by DIS was great |

Everything - the study tours were amazing. |
