Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
While this course was a Music Maymester, we were exposed to several areas including British history, architecture religious and otherwise, art and art history, theatre, and religious studies in addition to music. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
|
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
I only give this section 5 globes of 5 because my host family in Cambridge treated me like family, going above and beyond what they were required to do for my roommate and I. This really enhanced my overall experience in Cambridge. Where as my host, really boarder, in London was unacceptable. We were treated like children and the location was inconvenient to our daily activities. |

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? | Take only one partially full checked bag, even if you are allowed two you will be charged on the return flight for the second. Buying food from M+S or Tesco is cheaper than eating out at a restaurant or pub. |
Language
| How would you rate your language skills at the beginning of the program? | None |
