Review Your Program

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I would have liked to meet more local students to get a real vibe for a abroad school. It was too much like an american university placed in an amazing setting. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
a very new program so was missing good communication. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
great space, simple and had the basics. could have made more things happen in the common areas to get us more involved with each other, kind of isolating rooming situations. it felt mostly safe, and there was a grocery store, and travel agency in the student union, very close. and a few pubs right next door to campus! |
| * Food: |
had to buy/supply your own. was given first milk, cereal, and sandwich supplies. |
|

loch ness. isle of skye. land yatching. |
