Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The lectures were all so awesome that it didn't seem like we worked at all. But I know I did, because I learned so much. It was basically perfect outside of a few speakers not showing up. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The only weakness was that I wish the program would have provided more group meals. Even if that would have driven up the cost a little bit - I think all students would agree that it is worth it. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
IT WAS PERFECT AND AWESOME!! Steven and Lynda were fantastic. I cannot even slightly complain. |
| * Food: |
Having just a few more things on the menu that don't involve the phrase "corn flakes" would have been awesome haha. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
I couldn't have asked for a better time. New Zealand has more to offer than I was even able to do. |
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
Very impresssively. We had a girl end up in the hospital and all of the staff seemed to be trained very well in handling the situation. |
| If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
Yes
|
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) |
