HOUSING

Management Information Systems, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
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

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

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.
