HOUSING

Marketing and Sales Management, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.

Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I would like to share my appartement with french students in order to learn the language and i would prefer it to be near the center of bordeaux.
Personal comments:
Living directly on campus has both pros and cons: At first i was really happy, because it is near the university and a lot of other exchange students lived there as well. Nevertheless, the housing association did not care about our problems and often tricked us to get more money.

Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
was very lucky to be in the position to submerge into the language as it is a much more effective way of learning which i know many programmes dont actually benefit from.

I wish I had known...
That it was going to finish so soon, 4 years fly by you just like that and then, WHAM, here's your double diploma, thanks for chosing us, good luck. It was hard to let go of people that you are likely not to see again, but life goes on... now with an amazing and unique experience behind me!
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:

Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.

Improved language skills

Personal recommendation:
The reputation of the ESC preceeds it, its worth it and it will give a very sweet fruit at the end of your education, there is the possibility of engaging onMasters degrees with specialisation on Finance or Marketing, the two placements scheem is just a great advantage.
