HOUSING
by Gustaf, Högskolan i Jönköping, Jönköping, Sweden
Marketing and Sales Management, Through my home university's agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It gives me the freedom to have my own space, use my time more efficiently since I can choose when to do stuff instead of being forced to do stuff at certain times on campus. I have better housing off campus which enables me to have more fun, I don't have to bother about a roommate barging in at 3 AM every night and I can bring my friends over when I feel like it. Higher quality of life basically.
Personal comments:
On campus housing is descent but as at many other american universities, on campus housing is mainly for freshmen and sophomores. I decided to live off campus and my friends that stayed on campus had regrets every day and a specially when they visited me and my housing.

The Dixie Chicken is a Texas A&M, College Station Landmark. The place known as North side is great to go out and have a beer and meet up with friends.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your English?
My level before: No problems in any areas (including slang) My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
I had lived in Houston, Texas, years prior to attending A&M. This university was my home university. I was an international student, not an exchage student. I therefore had no problems at all with the language or communicating. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
