Universitatea de Vest din Timísoara (UVT)
Bd. Vasile Parvan 4, 1900 Timisoara, Romania
1.61 / 5 based on 6 reviews.
Description:
It was the year 1989, the year of the Romanian Revolution that meant a turning point in the development of our institution. It led to the normal condition of today. Thus, the present structures and achievements make the University of the West, Timisoara, worthy of interest for potential partners. An essential change of mentality has occurred in the very way of conceiving the academic institution, following the model of similar democratic institutions in the West. An ample institutional reform has been set going, starting with the re-defining of the University's mission, followed by the establishment of objectives to be pursued for the carrying out of that mission. Truly international in its outlook, the university is formally linked with over 100 universities worldwide. Student exchange receives top priority in these co-operation agreements.

HOUSING
by helke, Universiteit Gent, Gent, Belgium
russian-serbian, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? On the campus, although it's not so clean, you can get in touch very easily with other students, and if you have a problem, there will be always somebody to help you
Personal comments:
Noisy, dirty, nice neighbours, near the university, near student-restaurants and internet. As a foreign student you have a room of your own, the showers and the toilets you share with the others. The room is big enough, because normally they sleep with two there. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
by helke, Universiteit Gent, Gent, Belgium
russian-serbian, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
On the campus there are a lot of nice cafes, don't go in the city-center, the ones you find there are more expensive. It's very cheap to go to the film, every film is in the original version. The best parties are privat parties, at the other parties, there is only Romanian folkmusic and latin- music This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Professors will help you with the choise of the courses, but not how to read your timetable. They work with a two-week system, and they can change the timetable everyday. Sometimes you miss lessons you don't want to miss, sometimes you're waiting for a professor, who is not coming. Advise: check your timetable everyday
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Professors are close to foreign students, but not to romanian students This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: Romanian
Was learning Romanian a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Romanian How much did you improve your Romanian?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
Some students speak english or a little bit French, but don't count on it. If you want to survive in Romania, you have to learn Romanian. Nobody of the administration (for visa,...)can speak a foreign language This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
