Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The flats are nice, but having a bit more space would be brilliant.
Personal comments:
great, I met a lot of cool people and the rooms were quite nice. I am glad that I lived in the dorms for the duration of my studies. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
I am real art freak...the art in and around London is some of the most amazing out there right now. SoHo is a pretty happening place at night. Catch a football game (soccer), it's really fascinating. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
