Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I personally do not agree with their evaluation style and believe students do not retain information as well as they could. I constantly was helping my classmates with what I believe was elementary knowledge. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The program had every intention of keeping the international students united with a society however after the third week it fell apart. |

|
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? | about 100 dollars |
| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | The estimated budget is way off and I do not know a single person who was even close to the estimated. My advice to those who want to go or participate in this program should plan to have at least 6 to 7 thousand dollars to spend. |
Language
