HOUSING
by Adriana, Universidade do Minho, Braga, Portugal
Translation/ Interpretation, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why? It's the best way to meet other people, specially other students.
Personal comments:
Since the university itself, is in the city, housing would have to be also. So, I found a place in a building, which coincidently was a students buildins from my department. The outside appeareance of the building is extremely discouraging, but the inside is perfectly acceptable. The stairs are extremely narrow (which is a problem when one has to carry a big suitcase all the way to the fith floor) and there's no elevator. The room was spacious, the kitchen was enourmous, the bathroom had weating... It was great to live in such a building, because usually all the students would get together in the kitchen to socialize, which was a great way to start meeting people.I would have to say that the only bad thing about housing was the price, since it was twice as higher than I normally pay in POrtugal.

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
The ERASMUS meeting point and a graet pub: de vettige Swa. I also liked the Highlander pub, which was very cozy and the jazz café close to the campus. A real highlight is the medieval Pelgrom pub, which is in a caveunderneath the ground. Amazing athmosphere! There are tons of great pubs,restaurants and fun locations, plus, there are always events organized by student organizations This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Was learning the local language a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my knowledge How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) How much did you improve your local language?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: Basic phrases Personal comments:
I wanted to learn dutch when I went to Belgium, and though I'm not a fluent spoker, I acquire some basic knowledge. In Antwerp people have three languages: Dutch, french and english. So, i had a chance to improve my english. Both with the local and the students, the language I used to communicate was english. That's why I only had some basic knowledge of dutch: there was no need for me to try. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
The rent for my room was an extra expenditure, which I do not have at home, plus the food.. But I guess, if I would live on my own, the costs wuld be more or less the same. Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Telephone: was the same price as at home.

Personal recommendation:
It's a good university, with a good programme for international students. The university itself allows freedom of movements between departmens, which means that the students can choose courses from other departments. it's great to experience different courses and study different subjects. And at the when it's a great way to meet more people. the university provides the use of computers, there's a great cafeteria and the people are extremely friendly. overall, it is a good university. FINAL COMMENTS
It was a great experience and I recomend it to everyone. It was a bit scary at first, but as soon as you start making friends, the fun never stops. The best advice I can provide is pay attention to the railway website. They are constantly offering promotions to other countries, which is the best way to visit other places with a low budget.
