HOUSING
by aizi, Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Dresden (FH), Dresden, Germany
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because due to the sharing of appartments with other students one gets to know each other.
Personal comments:
It is very good that MBS prob´vides the accomodation since this is otherwise a very expensive topic in Finland. Some of the rooms are anyhow in need of new parts of furniture. A very nice point is also that there is an internet connection available in all appartments. 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: No problems in any areas (including slang) 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:
In Finland, most people speak English well, so where ever you go, you can always speak English. On one side this is very positive, but it makes it very difficult when you want to learn Finnish. People are always very polite and will start talking in the language you know best. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
