Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
It was well organized and the professors were amazing and extremely knowledgeable in their field. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The program directors were always available. From day one they cared to know us by name. I have no complains about the program. All strengths for me. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
|
| * Food: |
The food was great. People said it was bland but I didn't have a problem with it, |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
They took us to the fringe festival in Scotland and it was amazing. The festival, the accommodations, everything made the experience brilliant. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
The town itself is really safe. When the riots were happening in London we were not allowed to go to London and we had a curfew when we did visit London. To still make it fun, they had a lot of activities for us to do indoors. |
| 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? | I was informed that there would be expenses of traveling to the college from the airport but not exactly the amount. I wish I knew this. As I traveled on my own, the expenses of public transportation add up. |
Language
| How would you rate your language skills at the beginning of the program? | None |
