* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Faculty was very flexible with the desires of the students and allowed us to see some things that we not originally planned. He was helpful since he has done this class in the past. He also related our course material throughout our touring. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
We stayed in a hostel in London that wass under rennovation. There were paint fumes in the rooms and no flooring. It was very uncomfortable and causes sore throats and coughs amongst our group. |
| * Food: |
Food was more expensive, but try to eat traditional dishes. Do not make your own menu by saying I want this but not this or this in it. It is taken as rude and selfish in some places. |
