HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: few students shared apartment
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I felt it seemed like a family, when I shared the apartment with my housemates.
Personal comments:
Personal space is very important for students, on the other hand, it is also a good chance to learn deal and make friendship with different people if have some common space to share. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Go swimming or some pubs. In Utrecht, there are some pretty good pub, such as " Rose" etc, and also good discos available, for example "Get Down Cafe". And it is also hard to forget many Erusmas Parties, we got a lot fun during that year. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I got a lot of new understand about my major during that one-year exchange study. I am also appreciated that there are a lot of courses about Finance and Accounting, which I was majored in since my home university in China, and some Cross-Cultural Management courses, which attracted me very much.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Most of my classmates were Europeans, which means that it was not international enough. If it is possible, I would like to learn more about the local language. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My level before: Did not speak it My level after: Basic phrases Personal comments:
I am really courious about Dutch language, by the way, I am keeping learning till now. Unfortunately, most Dutch can speak so beautiful English that I could not find a lot of chances to practise my Dutch language. Honestly, the English level of Dutch is also a good point for me, a foreiger, living in the Netherlands. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

OVERALL
