Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because you can have all the facilities on your own, and that is important for an independent life.
Personal comments:
I think it was one of the best experiences in my life. I adore travelling and knowing other countries and coltures. Furthermore Finland is totally different than Spain, and i am totally sure that i could experince a lot of things that hadn't been possible in another way. Plus i have learned english and i have met people from all over the world, we could share our points of view, languages, cultures, ways of life, etc. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

There weren't really a lot of places in Lappeenranta, but with all the study community was enough. We were something like, 70 erasmus students, and was enough to have fun and be together. Best night spots in Lappeenranta; Iltatahti, Diva, Nite train, etc.. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
