HOUSING    
by Elizabeth, Michigan State University, East Lansing, United States
Business Studies, Michigan State University Study Abroad Program
Personal assessment
Cost

Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The apartments offered were in a convenient location, with easy access to the university. I enjoyed the convenience of having my own living space, as well as being able to live amongst other international students and French citizens.
Personal comments:
The housing accomodations assigned to me were convenient, fitting to my personal needs, and offered generous support on behalf of the landlords. However, it was expensive and I was not thoroughly informed of alternative means of finding apartments to live in, rather I was merely assigned to a certain apartment complex.

STUDENT LIFE    
by Jacqueline, Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow, United Kingdom
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
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:
If you want the best pub in the place, try O'Kallaghans. This is the best pub in Rouen, with the best, if not perviest barmen in Rouen! Try flashing your boobs for a free bottle of wine!! If you are stll standing at the end of the night, the kiosk is a really cheesy joint that you can boogie all night long.
