Bryant College review by Natalia

Review by Natalia, Universidad de León, León, Spain
Business Studies, University Agreement
HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? it allows you have everything that you need near you and meet more people.
Personal comments:
i was living in a townhouse on campus and it's like liiving in your own house, you can cook and have your place clean and tidy. But if you have to live in a dorm it is a little more uncomfortable. From my experience, the housing was really good but i guess if i were living in a dorm i wouldn't have the same opinion

Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.

Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Viva is the best place if you are international student, it is the meeting pont for Brown, Johnson and walles and Bryant students. Karta bar is also a good choice. Both are in Thayer street in the Brown university area. Bomabay club is the best for indian food if you like this kind of menu.
