What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Yes of course! I've never been out of the country before and this experience makes me want to travel all over the world!

Review Your Program

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

This was a great program. I would love to do it all over again and recommend the program out to everyone.

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

* Food:

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

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)

Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? i spent like 2000 euros
Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? I really wanted to travel throughout Europe within the program. Money really held me back from doing that. I wish I brought enough money to be able to travel.
