HOUSING
by Laura, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, United Kingdom
Language, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Student residence
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Great for meeting new friends and improving language skills.
Personal comments:
If you are at the "Studentensiedlung am Seepark" I would recommend staying in one of the larger flats with 8-12 people per floor. Freiburg have accommodation specifically for international students at "Europa Haus", you may get your own bathroom and kitchen area, however there is no opportunity for meeting native German speakers there.

STUDENT LIFE
by Anna-Vera, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Amherst, United States
Humanities, University Agreement
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Freiburg has many cozy and crazy places to go out at night for such a small town. In the StuSie (student dorms) there's a student-run bar with particularly cheap drinks if you can't afford to go out, or just want a nearby place to play foosball and see your friends.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: German
Was learning German a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my German How much did you improve your German?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
So many people speak english very well and are eager to practice it, so I didn't find so many oppurtunities to imrove my communication skills. I feel like i should have got a lot more out of living there for one year. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
