Overall
I wish I had known...
That I wouldnt get too stressed in finding somewhere to stay. Being sent to a foreign country without any accommodation is quite daunting, however...there are posters and advertisements everywhere, so you're bound to find something! I came out on the 7th September, and found my place on the 9th! My advice is you dont leave your searching too late! Because lots of students arrive mid-end september!

Course recommendations
Try and have "back up" courses, because you may not be able to enrol for all the courses you want. Enrollment for erasmus is up to a month after everyone else.
