Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Activities, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
International dinners and parties at the residence. The bad/weird point about it is that these were (almost) spontaneoulsy organized, so missing it was so easy as fiding it by chance. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
