HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? All international students lived there and even though it was far from the University (40 minutes walking, 15 on bike) it was the best place!!!
Personal comments:
I was living with two Polish girls and one old Finnish lady. But it was fun and great experience. We had sauna in almost every building and everything was working really great!!! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
