HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Private accomodation gives you the chance to meet many new people and face up to the facts of the “real world, ie having to pay rent on time etc.
Personal comments:
Help for housing from this university is none existent! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
