The hardware condiction of the accommdation is not bad, but some neighbours are difficult to get alone with them. In additional, the school give me less help in the process of finding a room.

Everything start in the "container", cool people from all the world, our living room was the reunion point for the other "containers". Then the Grotte Mart, 10 mn by bike...the best, "three sisters", Enzo, Sally´s ... a lot of cafe´s, icecream stores, the Martini Tower. Groningen is beautiful, clean and save. The Dutch people are very friendly and excelent host, no discrimination, happy people everywhere and educated. There where a lot of trips organized by the University with afortable prices, in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. I went in one to Rotterdam and to Berlin. The best!!! I have friends, good friends all over the world.

Something more about my project here for having brought some books from my home institution in Madrid.
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
I would recommend for example, for Erasmus Programme Students (my case), with no classes, only with final projects, is difficult to communicate with local students because most of us do the projects alone. It's different when you assist to classes in a course. I would do more meetings or activities amoung international students and local student for one bigger integration of all of us. Also, I would ask that there were more information in english please, although I know that in my home institution the problem in that way is worse. I would promotion more travel between students through the University because you can get more discount, and it's easier to meet people. I have traveled in some of this trips but with the IBS, not with the informatics students.



FINAL COMMENTS

I think that one of the objetives of the Erasmus Programmes and International Study Courses is to know the countries and the culture of the host countries. So, It should to promotion more travel trips.
