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 Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
Cafe de Beurs to live a dancing wednesday. Thursdays Hollywood can be a good place sometimes. Waterfront and Dissy are the alternative places which I really liked. And of course dormitory rooms were the best places to meet for the parties before going out. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I have chosen two master classes, as Erasmus University is a well-known one because of its master program. Moreover I have chosen a complementary elective about Tourism. Erasmus is a really good experience for me, to do the projects with an international team with getting the help of a multinational company in Holland.
