The housing is excellent.

Literature, Independent
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I studied in a very small department, the Comparative Literature Dpt., so it was rather limited in terms of courses. Since I came in with an M.A., I had to take all course requirements towards my Ph.D. within that department.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Not really, any Ph.D. program is a somewhat grueling process. 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?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English 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) Personal comments:
I had a previous experience in Australia, where I had learned most of my English. At the beginning I had some problems with american pronunciation, but after a while things come easily. Talking with my flatmates, watching tv, listening my professors... it's an infallible method. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
