Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The experience was wonderful. I would not have been able to get the same education at the university. Being able to see first hand the cultural aspects was something I will never forget. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
A weakness was that I was not financial prepared for the trip. A better break down of the finances would be beneficial. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
The hostels were very clean and comfortable. |
| * Food: |
All of the food was excellent but pricy. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
All of the free time was great to have. I had a chance to explore cities on my own and dive into local culture. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
All of cities we visited were filled with garda and seemed extremely safe. |
| If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
No
|
Finances
|
