Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Lighter workload overall but really loaded towards the end of the semester |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
very little on site support from IFSA-Butler, sort of left on our own once we got there |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
wish we had internet provided for us |
| * Food: |
generally cooked for ourselves but it was cheaper than eating out |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
walk about club, ultimate frisbee club, pick up soccer, scuba trip to the Great Barrier Reef |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
We lived next door to the local police station and a health clinic was across the street |
| 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) |
