HOUSING

Business Studies, exchange with home business school
Personal assessment
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? dorm is not a real free area. It includes a lot of rules to respect particulary for underaged people. It is hard for a european people of 25 years old who use to live in a appartement to accept this rules
Personal comments:
I was in the international hall whose rules- without explanations- was very strict. Dorms doesn't responsabilised people. One positive point in united states is the easiness to have a job when you are a student. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
In Oxford, most of parties are organised in someone's house. I will recomanded an appartment upstair the coffe buzz where it is a very artistic atmosphere. For dancing, the Stadium is not too bad This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Personal comments:
due to special courses in business english at my home university i knew that i would not have really big problems according to the classe i took at the university of miami. what i really surprised of was the speed of getting familiar with colloqial small talk english, which i improved mainly at parties.

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
I would have know before that it was completely unconvenient to leave the campus and go to the airport or cincinnati In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
It is a very isolated university, no buses to go to the airport or Cincinnati for example, and the taxi is about 75 dollards for the lap! You can find american friendsto bring you up but it is always frustrated to be not independant. FINAL COMMENTS
It was a very rich experience in term of meeting, progress, travel but sometimes life on campus can be quiet borrying. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
