HOUSING
by Ines, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Madrid, Spain
Telecommunications, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I just like new experiences, although this choice would be a bit more expensive.
Personal comments:
I was really happy about my neighbors at the student residence. It really was an international experience with people all around the world, not only german people. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
by Marta, The Poznañ University of Economics, Poznan, Poland
Financial Management, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Night spot: Qbarna - Cuban pub with place to dance hot salsa ;)(not to be missed on saturdays!!!). when salsa night in Qbarna is over you move 2 steps to Capitol - typical disco, but with nice ambiente. about 5 am when Capitol begins to reach the end ;)go to Savoy - a place where all party-lovers end their night! In that way you come back home at about 7.30 am :D If you really want to study - don't go to Paderborn! If it's about cafes - Cafe & BAR CELONA (BARCELONA) - great, cosy atmosphere. There are also many places where you can get delicious food! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
There is better course availability in the fall (Wintersemester, starting in September/October), however there are always enough courses available to make it worthwhile. Due to the lack of available courses in the spring, I took a masters course.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
I wanted more feedback on my term assignment for my masters course. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Was learning German a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my German How much did you improve your German?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
My overall language experience was great. The classes were in english for my program, but we had a German converstaion class. Plus I lived with a family and had an internship in the city. I was definitely more comfortable with the language by the end of my time. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

I wired my money to Volksbank, which went very smoothly. You can get transport around the city for a semester for about 60EUR when getting the uni id card. If you plan to use train a lot, get a Bahncard 50. remember to say you're a student when you buy this card. use budget airlines too :) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
If you like small cities, this is less daunting than many German universities. FINAL COMMENTS
