HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: student residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? To feel like a real resident of this country
Personal comments:
The student residence where I was living was well located (in the city and near the university) and full of exchange students from all around the world. It was really friendly. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

ACADEMIC
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
There are two weeks at the beginning of the semester during which it is possible to go to every courses in order to choose the ones we will follow after. It is really important to go to EVERY courses during those weeks to make one own opinion about the class. Indeed subjects can appear interesting but they are not really in reality and vice versa.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
It would be maybe a good idea to umplicate more the students thanks to projects throughout the course. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
