HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? we are four people in our appartment; all kind of messy but all crazy; itīs a lot of fun
Personal comments:
I really disrecommend the pensionato of the university; itīs old, thereīs no kitchen and itīs kind of expensive: actually itīs a shithole This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Student boards organizes plenty of parties, but always in the same places; thatīs why it gets a bit annoying after a while; look out for non-exchange student nights to have a bit more authentic atmosphere. that might sometimes get expensive but itīs worth it; tips: roialto, cafe solaire, This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
