Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? because it is the only possibility in the host country.
Personal comments:
The Erasmus Students Association in Athens arranges accomodation for incoming students. The appartment has to be paid (total rent + deposit) in advance. Until now you don't know your accomodation. The appartments are very different. If you don't like your appartment you have the possiblility to change. The most disappointing thing in my appartment was that there was now washing machine!

Personal comments:
everything (time of classes, etc.) seems to be disorganized at first sight, but surprizingly enough things work out fine at the end. you better get used to it since these cultural differences will hardly change. better accessibility to computer labs would be great (opening hours)!

Overall
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English
Was learning the local language a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my knowledge
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
How much did you improve your local language?
My level before: Did not speak it
My level after: Basic phrases
Personal comments:
Teachers are sometimes absolutely not able to speak English. French and Spanish students are sometimes really hard to understand because of there pronunciation. In everyday life the differences are very high. Some Greek people got strange or even angry when you don't speak Greek. A big surprise was that lots of very young people were already able to speak English.

FINAL COMMENTS

You should use the weekends to travel around the mainland or to some islands. Ferries for Greek students (incl. Erasmus) are very cheap (only slow ferries). Take care by renting cars. It is better to pay little more and have an overall insurance. GREEK TRAFFIC IS CRAZY!!
