The coursework was less rigorous than my home university. It was a nice break from all the academic stress I usually have back home. One thing that's unfortunate about Sri Lanka is that they do not have a highway system in place so it is very time consuming to travel. The process getting to your destination takes a massive amount of time. Therefore, I did not travel outside of Kandy as much as I would have liked to.
The on site staff will be the sweetest group of people you will ever meet. They helped me get through the four months I was in Sri Lanka. They are very approachable and easy to talk to. They will figure out our living accommodations and anything else you need help with. I luckily got along with my host families, but if there are an problems the on site staff are always willing to help you.

What would you improve about this program?

The Residential Director didn't give us a clear timeline on when the proposals for our research programs are due. The proposal writing process was very rushed, but since we told him that will most likely change.
