HOUSING
by Beatriz, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain
Physics, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It gives you more freedom to accept guests and invite people.
Personal comments:
It's difficult to find accomodation in London, and this hall was really central, although a bit expensive. There was an accomodation office at the university to help you, which was quite nice. I didn't like some of the Hall rules about guests, but apart from that, the place was quite nice. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
European Law was really interesting and so was Human Rights Law. Apparently tort is really stressful, Criminology was o.k. but not particularly interesting (although both lecturers were really good!)

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
unfortunately I don't think my language skills improved that much; of course improvement as to leagl terms but not that much in everyday life (since I was fluent before I came here) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Family Other sources of funding:
None Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
FACT: ITS SO MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE IN LONDON! BEWARE!!!!!!!! Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Please do make sure to eat. Some students are such sticks when the return back home to their home country! Tip: DONT overspend. the banks seem to attract you with their overdraft facilities, but dont fall into the trap. Dont use up the overdraft to the bitter end...I had to pay back my overdraft and it was painful! So pls..dont overspend..dont go out to much! (ok kinda hard...but at least try not to spend too much!)

Personal recommendation:

apparently studenthouse organise really cheap travels for students (Scotland/Isle of Sky etc.); also coach travels are not too expensive when you invest in a coach travel card which is about £10 This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
