HOUSING
by GUEYE, ESC Lille, Lille, France
Business Studies, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I had a great and enriching experience, living on the same flat with other exchange students. Indeed it's the best way to learn more about other cultures, besides the host country culture.

STUDENT LIFE

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
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:
Pogues-The Irish Bar among others has some good live music. The Grad House is worth a drink in, as is the Rogues Roost, which brews its own beers that are very nice. 'Rain' and 'Pacifico' ranked as personal fravourtes for Nightclubs although the 'Dome' isn't bad either if you get a good group in.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Personal comments:
It was without a doubt a very valuable experience for me to practice my English. Throughout the constant interaction with Canadian and European students I had the chance to improve my overal English profitiency. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Personal savings Other sources of funding:
Family Personal savings Government assistance Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Well there's the sense of adventure, one wants to make the most of the time out there thus most social activity/travel than if I was at university at home. Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Food, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Get Skipe or a simlar internet telephone to save money. Watch the exchange rate, when I went it was particularly good and changed a lot of money thus getting more for it. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
That the rooms on the 32/33 floor in Fenwick were of diffrent size, I would have then pushe dfor a bigger room. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Great all round, on all fronts, happy to answer anyone's questions. FINAL COMMENTS
When you get there, the bars/clubs/liquor stores all I.D. Therefore so you dont have to take your passport/driving lisence out and risk losing it, go to the Halifax Mall and get a "Novia Soctia I.D" It is govenment approved and everywhere accepts it as I.D. At only $14 it was well worth it. Buy a bit of booze duty free on the way over, you might as well, since your leaving the EU. You'll save a bit of dosh. Party Hard, make the most of it But above everything, go there with as much money as you can, save, save, save over the summer, apply for extra student loan from your LEA, maybe get a few hours a week part time job while your there if you can/want to because the more money you have, the more socialising/travelling you can do!
