HOUSING    
by hawkins_me, Warwick University, Nr Coventry, United Kingdom
Business Studies, 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.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It was nice to live with others in a house, could get isolated otherwise. Living away from Campus gave more freedom and a welcome change of scenery. Independence without being lonely.
Personal comments:
Campus residences varied but even the most basic was satisfactory. The university provided help finding accomodation if necessary through the CROUS office and the option to stay the year in residences was available.

Personal social experience

KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Best clubs are out of town though students all tended to head to Paradis on Student night. Make sure Bonne Maman Creperie gets a visit, along with Chez Olive, The Berry and Etna (excellent food). The conemara is always a favourite among the bars, busy with a dance floor.
