Time of your Life-Study Abroad Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The work load was pretty small. 2-3 assignments per class per semester but weighed very heavily in percentage. Normally students will have a class once a week so you will only go to school about 3 days a week. Normally for each course you take there is a another "lab" that goes along with the class with a smaller portion of the lecture.

On-site administration of your program

There was a great orientation that prepared you for the experience! You also got to meet people that were studying abroad in different parts of the country which allowed you to make friends to possibly visit them. The location supervisor is also extremely helpful with updating students on upcoming cultural/local events. The supervisor in my area was very knowledgeable and was able to answer every question I had

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I lived in a serviced apartment. Cleaned once a week. I lived one block from the beach and community center. A block away from the closest grocery store, restaurants, bars and clubs

Expensive but very similar to american food

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Australian Rugby Games, Sydney Orientation

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Extremely Safe

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)
