HOUSING
by Antonio Gabriel, Universidad Pontificia Comillas de Madrid, Madrid, Spain
Management Information Systems, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? because live in a house it's not much cheaper, the "city" itself is not interesting and the most of a student life in wrexham is inside the campus, which is well located and easy to get to any place in the town
Personal comments:
I personally recommend to any Erasmus student who wish to go to NEWI to house in the university residents them are OK and also are one inside the town This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
there are not to much choices, it is an small town and a small University, the night life use to be in the same 6 bars, iit is not the best place to be on parties, whatever you will have loads of students parties This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
I wish i had known it was such a small town and university, that the nightlife wasnt great at all, and that the local people, specially youth ones, were not nice. In my opinion:
Stay home.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Go to any other university if you can FINAL COMMENTS
Well, as i said if you can choose any other university do it, it is a bad university, bad reputation and in a bad place. If you're spanish, like me, you should know that youre going to find too mmany spaniards there. Anyway I must say that i really enjoyed myself there because all erasmus use to be fun. Its not going to be horrible its just that im sure that other places are better. One las tip: Even it is still expensive, the life in wrexham is cheap for UK standars.
