HOUSING
by playmobil, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Germany
International Relations, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Kortepohja is the best place in terms of interaction with local and international students.
Personal comments:
Accomodation is mainly provided by 2 different organizations: 1) Student Union: they run a huge apartment block, called Kortepohja. Around 1900 students call it home. Great location, because within walking distance to the skiing resort. 10 minutes by bike to the main campus 2) KOAS: some kind of public organization that provides students with decent housing. It's a bit cheaper than Kortepohja but often further away from main campus. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Because there are a lot of opportunities to meet exchange students and it is a greta experience, because most of the time the flatmates are from different countries.
Personal comments:
KOAS which is responsible of housing students, is a flexible and a comprehensible organization. If there is one problem in the appartments someone is fixing it quickly without any charge. If you have some problems about money, one email and you can find an agreement easily. There is at least on coordinator for foreigners, which is quite helpful in case of trouble.

Personal comments:
See 4. The quality you get for this price is amazing. In holland i payed almost double for less. The flats consist of three sperate bedrooms, a kitchen, hallway and a large bathroom.

If returning, I would choose: Student village, single room with a flatmate
Why? good accomodations and opportunity to meet other exchange students
Personal comments:
i was first very impressed by the organisation (reservation, office, tutors...) made by the host university. Then, I really appreciate the facilities in the student village(laundry, shops, sauna..) and in the rooms (internet access, phone). Although the buildings were quite far from the university/center (especially during winter), there were also nice, safe, had a good atmosphere and were close to lake, forests and skiing slopes.

Disappointing.
