Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I learned from a new perspective that I would not have been able to experience if I did not study abroad |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
They were very knowledgeable and helpful |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Lived in a corridor style, communal kitchen, single room, each room has its own bathroom <br /><br /> The accommodations were nice, the dorms are strategically located in the vicinity of the classrooms |
| * Food: |
I will give the prestigious "5 out of 5" globes ranking because I found myself eating much healthier than I ever do in America. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
It would be very difficult for any college student to NOT have fun studying abroad at Lancaster University |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
No complaints |
| 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 forgot to trade in my excess British Pounds for American Dollars before I left. Don't make my mistake. |
Language
| Language acquisition improvement? |
This really isn't a fair question. I'm a native English speaker and I went to an English speaking country. I suppose I now know a wide variety of British slang? |
