Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The workload in China was a little tough but doable. I had American instructors, so I didn't have to deal with educational system differences. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The instructors knew what they were doing. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
|
| * Food: |
Eggplant, green beans, and rice was my favorite meal. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Visiting most of the sites on our own was overwhelming at first, but I think it was better than seeing them all as a group would have been. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
Everywhere seemed very safe. There were no incidents. I got flu and hepatitis A shots before leaving the US. |
| 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?
