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? Campus is in Mt St Aignan - too far away from city centre.
Personal comments:
Be careful with CROUS! They like to chage their rent very suddenly without warning. It's 40€ more in renovated romms if you're staying less than 8 months.

Personal comments:
Library is poor - hardly any books availabla In course, you're supposed to write anything the teacher says. Didn't like it at all - suppose this is cause I'm used to work independently with books. 30 ECTS is very much in Rouen (compared to my home university)
