Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) review by Rebeca
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? because i did lots of friends there and this apartment was part of a campus, which is not so usual in Spain.
Personal comments:
as I am concerned, I decided to take advantage of the nearest Poland and I rent the apartment there, but many friends did it in Germany and, to be honest I must say the were really well locate. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
In Germany there was a club that was really similar to my favorite in Abla ( Almería); it was like a cave and it was near to University and to a wonderful park. On the other side of the border, in Poland, I discovered my favorite pizza parlour and my favorite coffee bar.It was like a house in the montains with fireplace including!!

ACADEMIC
4.5 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
visit the city and the University before in order to do the languages exams and get advantage from the Volkhochschule. needless to say that the best and faster opportunity to learn languages is in Berlin and it takes just one hour from Frankfurt.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
take advantage of the posibility of learning with a tandem. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
