ESADE Business School review by Linn

HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because I prefer being able to participate in the choosing of roommates, and I like the freedom of having my own place
Personal comments:
ESADE does not provide accomodation. They have an agreement with a student housing place, but it is VERY expensive ($800 a month!) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Its a small university, which makes it easier to get to know pople, especially if only staing one semester. Approx 50% of the 3rd year students are exchange students, from all over the world FINAL COMMENTS
Schedule your cources to Mon-Tues-Wed, & you'll have 4-day weekends to spend travelling. Lots to see in Catalunia (don't miss Mont Serrat & Sitges), aslo Madrid & Valencia is not too far away. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
