For me it was more important the personal experience than the acadelic. No matter how awful the city you have chose for going as an Erasmus, the most important is your personal motivation and the personal experience you get!

Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because the room was quite little and the staff working in the exchange room was very unpolite with the Spanish students. On the other hand, it was habitual food was stoolen from the fridge we have to share all the people living in the same floor. To sum up, the residence was not sufficiently equipped for the student's necessities.
