Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? it's a great life experience! living with students coming from all around the world it's simply fantastic! meet so many different cultures and discover that sometimes they are so close! living together like a big family, having problems like a big family, solve them like a family...
the very best experience in my life!
Personal comments:
it's a very good accomodation. we have our private room with internet access (LAN) and TV. it's wonderful to share a common space like our cafeteria with the other students (iternational and austrian ones): that give us the possibility to meet each other, spend time together, cooking together and studying together... as I already said, the very best experience in my life!

STUDENT LIFE
by Jazmin, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Madrid, Spain
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
You must know that Kufstein is very small, but it has some nice clubs like Kufa, Desperados or Arabia, these are the discos. Then if you prefer have a drink in a more calm place, Tscharlies', Manhattan and Carizma are the most popular among the students.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
The courses in general are pretty good, and the classrooms are very small so there aren't many students in one lesson, so you can have a close relationship with the teacher. The only think I don't like is the organisation in the International Relations Office, they are such a mess!
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The courses in general are being essier than in my home university, but here many teachers are from abroad which is very interesting. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English Was learning the local language a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my knowledge How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) How much did you improve your local language?
My level before: Basic phrases My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) Personal comments:
Kufstein is the best place to come if you speak good English and also a bit of German because you'll be able to practice them. But it's not a good place to learn English from the bases and to learn German neither, since here they speak a dialect which is hard to understand. But if you have a knowledge of both languages you won't have any kind of problems and you'll improve both. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Well, food and housing are almost the same as in Spain. Then, I'm spending less money in telephone cause I use internet to keep in touch with my family and friends and in Spain I used telephone for that. Nightlife is also cheapier here, since I live in Madrid and everything is very expensive, but Kufstein is a small town. For example, entrance ticket to go to Kufa (the biggest disco in Kustein) 3 euros, in Madrid a disco is like 10 euros. In travells I'm spending more money, the reason is very easy, here I'm travelling more and more often than what I do in Spain Travel: was more expensive than at home. Food, Overall, Housing: was the same price as at home. Nightlife, Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
In Spain everybody thinks that Austria is an expensive country, and it is, but as I said before, Kufstein is a small town and it's not so much expensive. Anyway, to save money what you can do is doing your shopping at Hofer (the cheapiest supermarket in town) or in Interspar and buying the Spar products and those ones in sale, I'm doing this and I spend almost the same as in Spain This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
OVERALL

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
I wish I had spoken better German before coming here, but it's not really necesary. And also I wish I had know that the Austrian people are so friendly, I was very surprised In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
The university is very very small, it has only about 800 students, but this is good because you get to know everybody easily. As I said before, the organisation of the International Relations Office is not very good, but be patient, and if you don't like something or you are not agree with something, talk with Mr. Raffili, he is the most competent person there. FINAL COMMENTS
First of all, say that before coming here I was not sure if I had chosen well the place to do my ex-change, but after 6 months here I know that I couldn't have chosen any better place. It's a very good place to travell because it's in the middle of Europe, one hour from big cities like Munich and Innsbruck and one hour and one half from Salzburg. Italy, Switzerland and the Cezch Republic are also near. Second, people in Kufstein are very nice. In the school you have to work, but it's easy going, it's much easier than others schools and we have a lot of free time, but at the same time we are learning a lot since the lessons are very active (we have to work a lot during the lessons in groups projects) And last thing, if you like winter sports, this is your paradise! There is a skii resort only 20 minutes from the town and during the skii season the skii buses which take you there are for free! I only have one word to describe the skii in the Alps...AMAZING!!! Finally, you have to come to Kufstein!!! You'll love it, everybody does! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
