Journalism, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The residenze universitarie enforced strict curfews which didn't mesh well with the lifestyles of carefree "erasmus" and study abroad students, therefore some of us ran into some trouble along the way. Furthermore., my last month in Siena, I moved out to a private apartment, and it's a much better way to feel like you're actually, independently, a part of the society.
Personal comments:
The housing was good enough, the prices were very reasonable, the facilities comfortable, and the locations very desirable. In any case, student housing is a great place to start in Siena, even if it is one's intention to eventually move elsewhere during one's stay.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I lived in a house with 20 persons from all nationalities. This way, I really got to know the cultural differences between European countries. And I made friends for life!
Personal comments:
The location could not have been better: 1 minute from Piazza del Campo! Only the technical aspects were sometimes disappointing. For example: we only got warm water after 3 weeks and when something was broken it took a while before it was fixed! But at that time it didn't bother me much. Typically Italy! ;-) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

rooms were a bit too small for 2 persons, and there wasn't any a/c or fans, so they got desparately hot at night. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The location was pretty good, the only thing I would want if i had to go back was an internet connection!
Personal comments:
The housing in the city of Siena was pretty bad, Siena is a small city with a large population of students. The consequence of this is that the room prices were extremely high. It was also common to sleep in one room with two or three people (and even more). BUT, Siena is a beautiful city and the people there are great, so for a few months this is not feasible.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: student halls
Why? It is much better to live with foreign students in order to improve ones language ability.
Personal comments:
There is only one tiny halls of residence which is very hard to get in to. Appartments in the town are ok overall though, but are a little hard to find for foreigners. There should have been an accomodation office of some sort in order to help students find accomodation so that they do not need to pay out for an agency.

Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
