Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia review by Kendreth

Review by Kendreth, The Hague University, The Hague, Netherlands
Marketing and Sales Management, Erasmus
HOUSING    
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: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I can have the place I want and I can keep it as clean as I want and of course you have more privacy
Personal comments:
I think it could be better, if they complied with all the things they write online then it would have been no problem. It was ok for me and I adapted myself to the situation eventhough on hygiene matters I was very disappointed.

STUDENT LIFE    
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.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
nice trendy cafe's or pubs(such as Cafe Concerto,Fidelio,Cafe Orologio, Irish Pub), enotecas in the city but very expensive. Going to Bologna for the nightlife was great as the students' nightlife better is than in Modena. Going to disco's outside Modena were great, they are the best cafe's I have ever been to, such as Scuderie, Rockville, Bosco di Garda, Mata Hari.
