What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Learning new culture and appreciating a foreign country I never though I would ever be is the best experience I got from this program. Work experience wise, it is also memorable.

The program is great, but it was a bit of a mixed up of on the job training and study abroad, which made it a bit confusing. |
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? | Since on the job training provide most meal of the day, I would say very minimum expense was used for food. |
| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | Avoid going to mall too much. Visit local food areas and use the accommodation facilities to prepare and cook food. Buying groceries is way more cheaper than eating out. |
