Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The grading system was interesting, with a very detached atmosphere of professor to studnt interaction. All coursework was handed into the office and not to professor.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

The administrative assets worked well and had no problems. I feel we had a great program size and it was a fun time to get to know all other students.

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

* Food:

very good food, cooking on your own which was independence i wanted.

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

there were plenty of field trips and excursions, as well as school sponsored events and clubs

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

Swansea is a very safe city, big enough to feel like a city, but small enough to know your way around quickly.

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)
