I wish I had known...
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 ...
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. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
They could let international students to choose courses they would like to study. FINAL COMMENTS
travelling by train in Holland is a bit pricy, but you can buy a discount card, than it's gonna be 40% cheaper. Very important: apply for accomodation as early as possible, than you have more chances to get a nice room for a reasonable price. If you choose to live in international student house, apply for Moesstraat. It's definetelly the best place to live (location, social life, cost of rent).

Enjoy it. You will learn hoe to manage the stress as the same time you will contact another cultures and have a real good exchange experience with other country FINAL COMMENTS
Do not get stress at the beginig with all the assigments you have to deal with, just, be pacient and proactive. Be flexible with the rest of the members of you teamwork groups. You must be a tolerant person with other cultures, you will find out all we are human beings, and how a student from Russia can have a lot in commun with another student from other culture, in my case, from Spain.
