Once In A Lifetime Experience! Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

In my Marketing course, the class size was 20-25 with over 10 different countries represented from students in the class. This cultural diversity was awesome to be apart of! Our professor wanted us to communicate and work together as much as possible because her philosophy was that anyone can sit through a lecture, but there's an even greater opportunity to learn from the people around us. I really appreciated being challenged everyday in group discussions and individual project assignments. Our professor challenged us to self-reflect and identify our true passion and potential and bring that into the classroom each day. I learned so much about Marketing which is one of my fields of study, but I also learned a lot about myself, my peers, and the world.

On-site administration of your program

I found my program administration to be 10/10! They always made sure to over-communicate to ensure that all of our questions were answered so we as comfortable as possible. Everything went smoothly from start to finish which is impressive because of all of the logistics.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I lived in Alexander Fleming Hall in Hoxton Market and I was perfect. I enjoyed having my own room and living in a flat with other exchange students so I could meet people more quickly! It didn't bother me at all, but be prepared for no air conditioning!

I really enjoyed the food in London! Although some meals were a bit more expensive, I view food as a time to connect with people from all around the world so for me, it was very much worth it. Cheaper places can definitely be found so don't even worry!

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I always felt safe while traveling through London and while staying in the Hoxton Market area. We took the Tube everywhere because it was safe and efficient.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

London was a bit more expensive but I would say I was able to stay on my own personal budget. I spent about $150 per week on food because I chose to eat out rather than buy some groceries and utilize the kitchen in my flat.
