I really loved this trip to India. The host family was very generous and caring, we saw everything there was to see in New Delhi and I felt very well taken care off. We had a smaller group but it was a lot of fun being able to get to know everyone and share stories. Highly recommend going on this trip.

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)

Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? Food was included in the price so just spent money on souvenirs.

Craving the most authentic experience possible, perhaps you lived with a host family or really got in good with the locals. You may have felt confined by your program requirements and group excursions. Instead, you'd have preferred to plan your own trips, even skipping class to conduct your own 'field work.'
