Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Interesting to see how British Universities dont waste time with liberal arts like American schools. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The support services where great and very supportive for anything needed and could always send you in the right direction. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
When we got there the Uni help us find landlords to set us up with housing. |
| * Food: |
Overseas doesn't have the variety we have in America, but of course they don't have the culture influence we do. Overall, pretty much the samething at the store. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Yes, the prgram offers a few trips and allows you to experince local culture and attractions. Setting up events in the beginning and allowing us to meet other foriegners to travel with later on in the semster, which is nice especially being Europe and traveling to other countries. |

* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |

The host city was a decent size city like Pittsburgh. I felt it was much safer and friendly then pitt and it of course has problems like any other city but it's just using commmon sense. |

Yes
