HOUSING
by ellenelene, University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia
Humanities, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Living in a large block with other students made it more difficult to become involved with the community.
Personal comments:
Security was not really adequate, and local men sometimes forced their way into girls' rooms. Food often disappeared from the refrigerator and hotplates seldom worked to full capacity. Each room, although fairly small, was equipped with a shower and toilet and was really quite comfortable. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
I didn't go out much at night. It wasn't safe for European women to travel on buses after dark. I occasionally went to the Irish pub with a mixed group, which was fun. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Be flexible in your choice...courses are sometimes cancelled at the last minute.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
It was often difficult to access the main library in the city because class hours clashed with it's opening times. Since I was an anthropology student, I found this to be very inconvenient. More thought could be given to this aspect when teachers plan the curriculum. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: French
Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French How much did you improve your French?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) Personal comments:
I didn't realise before I left home that French Creole would be as widely used as it was. Apart from on the university campus, this was the main language, and it was therefore more difficult for me to communicate locally. I don't feel as though my French improved very much, although my understanding of the local dialect did! However, my trips to mainland France have been very beneficial.

EXPENSES
by EB, Aristotle Panepistimio Thessalonikis, Thessaloniki, Greece
Biology, Erasmus
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Everyday expences (like shoppping at the supermarket, gazoline e.ct.) was very expensive compared to Europe. Likely the university provided accolodation and food at low prices. Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Food, Travel: was the same price as at home. Nightlife: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Yes! The "Securite Generale" had a very big surprise for us! Everybody needs to get privately insured, otherwise -if hospitalized- they are going to pay more than 1,000 euros....:( This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
That French was not the language of the majority. In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Being a student at this university was sometimes difficult and frustrating. Nevertheless, I am very glad that I went. It was a really worthwhile experience, and I had the added pleasure of seeing a volcano in all its glory. FINAL COMMENTS
Take comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots. There are many wonderful trails to follow. Try to arrive when other students are on campus to direct you to shops etc...otherwise you'll spend hours trying to find amenities on your own, as my friend and I did.
