HOUSING
by Selma, Avans Hogeschool, Den Bosch, Netherlands
Marketing and Sales Management, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I had a single room and that suited me very well. I could meet some people if I wanted, and I had also the quitness when I wanted to study.
Personal comments:
The housing is arranged by a firm named, Studentenwerk. This is a very good firm, but mostly unriendly. As a foreign student you will get priority. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE

German and Linguistics, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
He Wilhelmshöhe area is lovely, so are many of the sourrouding suburbs and villages. Don´t be put off by the inner city. Make use of the Semester ticket (unlimited travel within North Hesse for a once-off price). The museams and theatres are quite good.

My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
I wished to had some more information in the beginning. The German system is totally different compared to the dutch system. I recommened to search for help choosing your courses and lectures. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
German bureaucracy is even worse than its reputation. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
While living on campus is cheap and handy, you won´t really get much of a chance to experience wha life is really like in Kassel. FINAL COMMENTS
The town doesn´t make a great first impression, but make an effort to get to know it properly. I gave up too soon! The uiversity is really great, very modern, well laid-out, right in the city-centre. The staff here are are a bit more involved with their students than in other German universities. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
