Space
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why? because we was all student and it was really nice to meet all this new people, coming from all over the world!We was friendly to each other and it was an expierence that i would like to live it again!
Personal comments:
I had a single room for all the period that i stay in greece and it was quite big. the only bad was that i didnt have my own bathroom but it was ok! the cleaning could be better and i think it was the only diffect of the residence. in the other residence of the university they was much more cleaner than mine but olso it was more expensive all most the double! I think, in general, it was a good residence, thats why i am voting it with 3!

STUDENT LIFE    
by Sealine, Université de Poitiers, Poitiers, France
Law, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Kamara is the traditional metting point for the students. Of course the wonderful cafes on the paralia (sea front). You first have to find a good taverna around the old market (Meletron) or near the Kastro. Then very late in the night you will go to some night clubs near the sea towards the airport.

EXPENSES    
by Laura, Universitatea din Oradea, Oradea, Romania
Journalism, Erasmus
The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits:
I spent more than in my home country because most of the prices were higher than back home and also because being in a new place I was tempted to travel much more, to go out more often than I use to in my home country and none the less to make more international calls.
Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
If you want to avoid bad surprises in Greece try to find housing with the expenses included. I received a huge electricity bill and is good to know that the bills for electricity in Greece come for a few months. This can me quite challenging if your entire staying is for a few months... make sure you don't have to pay for the people that were there before you. Internet is expensive and I don't recommend you to make a contract with a phone company it will cost a lot!

FINAL COMMENTS

Well there would be tons of useful tips, but I will choose some of them. I believe you will have a better experience if you stay in the dorms. Even is not exactly luxury you will have the time of your life and interact with more students and avoid huge bills. Travel as much as you can and use your student passo, it will give you price reductions and low fares for transportation and none the less free entrance to museums. Buy a Greek phone card with number it will be better than roaming! Take a language course if is offered by the university it will be helpful trust me! Get involved in university projects and interact with locals. Don’t eat at Mc and try the local food is simply tasty and nothing compares with a nice lunch in a Greek taverna! Try the dairy products! Watch yourself on the street what they say about the Greek drivers is not a cliché! Take it easy with drinking frappe becomes addictive. Be opened and ready to face new situations every day! Don’t be surprised if you see a lot of strikes! Always think of a plan B!
