HOUSING

Business Studies, University Agreement
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: Quad apartment (4 students) shared kitch and bath
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: I would not change where I lived
Why? Living in Quad apartments allows you to meet and live with 3 people you have never met. It is very exciting and intersting. You also get to meet alot of other students living around you.
Personal comments:
The quad apartment complex I lived in was very close to the university so that was a plus. The good thing about quads is that they are normally only occupied by fellow students. This way you get to meet alot of the people you will be going to school with.

Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.

Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
The best student bar in town would have to be Clauds. This is where students go to hand out after class and also late into the night hours. If you want to dance Tailgators is the place to go.

No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
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: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
People are very friendly, helpful and talkative over there. So you get in contact with people easily and you can take advantage to talk a lot and ask all the things you haven't known yet. In this way I've improved my language skills to a great extend. Also, all the papers we had to write for classes helped me to enrich my vocabularly!

FINAL COMMENTS

Honestly, Corvallis is not a vivid city, so there is not much to do. However, I tried to learn about my host country as much as possible and to make my stay abroad as special as possible. And I succeeded. So, you can do it as well! My travel tips: in Oregon: Silver Falls and of course the coast!!! in Washington: Seattle in British Columbia: Vancouver Hawaii! - If you can do it, do it!!
