HOUSING
by Liesbeth, Universiteit Maastricht, Maastricht, Netherlands
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Closer to other students and this would enable me to be in closer contact with them
Personal comments:
my own housing was good; the location, however was not that good. I lived with three Swedes, which was good for my language skills and integration in the country culture This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

They are very good, but (for Computer Science) is quite difficult to get points compared with the other courses and careers. But, in the other hand, you'll learn a lot...
