Greatest Support System you can ask for in a New Country

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.
