HOUSING
by Dimitris, The American College of Greece, Athens, Greece
Accountancy, Independent
Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? I stayed with my family, of course, and i would do the same again.
Personal comments:
Try to find an apartment near the suburb of Agia Paraskeui where the college is. If you can't just stay at the centre of athens, where pollution might be a lot, but there is no criminality. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
If you are an undergraduate try to get courses concerning your major as early as possible. Registration can be VERY difficult at Deree and you can often find yourself TRAPPED in college.

Personal comments:
Well. Just ask GOOD students what teachers to choose and you wil be ok. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
