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? during my Erasmus, I lived in a campus; but now i'd choose an apartment because, even if is more expensive than a room in a campus, there is more space and is cleaner.
Personal comments:
my host university found me the housing in a campus;this campus was very close to the center of the city. the room was little and i shared with others students the bathroom and the kitchen.for these reasons i'd prefer an apartment.

KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.

Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
in France there are two kind of courses:travaux dirigès, that are lessons with few students, and normal lessons with a lot of students. i prefer the travaux dirigès, beacause the interaction with the teachers is more possible.
