Fun and Social -- not Academic Past Review
By Serena B (Applied Math, Harvard University) for
University of Cambridge, Pembroke College: Cambridge - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
Definitely, but I think it was more worthwhile on a personal rather than intellectual or academic level.
Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Different grading system, workload manageable and light |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Should have had more technology and support from the staff. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
|
| * Food: |
N/A |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Cream teas, punting tours, trip to Edinburgh |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
Safety was not great for the students; the local police were very poorly organized and hardly seemed competent, very slow response times. Healthcare in England in the emergency rooms is horrifically slow; overall terrible in terms of safety and health. |
| 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? | Pounds go so quickly, and things are so expensive. |
Language
| How would you rate your language skills at the beginning of the program? | None |
Direct Enrollment/Exchange
| * Did you study abroad through an exchange program or did you directly enroll in the foreign university? | Direct Enrollment |
