Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
My work load was actually a lot lighter abroad. |

* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The program was well organized and the faculty was helpful! |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
|
| * Food: |
As that you have a kitchen, you can just buy groceries and cook your food. It's the most affordable and healthy option. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:

They took us on several trips, one trip we went to old ruins of a castle. It was amazing! |
|

Very safe environment and the health center was close by. |
| 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) |
|
| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | As that I bought groceries and budgeted pretty well, it wasn't very expensive. Taking taxis places was the only really pricey thing, but even those weren't too bad. |
Language
| How would you rate your language skills at the beginning of the program? | None |
