HOUSING
by PVC, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia
Geography, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Good way to meet other students and cheap compared to private rental.
Personal comments:
The housing office wasn't very helpful and didn't return my deposit with no explanation! They could do a better job but overall it is a good accommodation choice. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
I was pretty good in English before going to UCD, but after it was much better because I had a contact with a language all the time while speaking, reading books in this language, watching movies and listening to radio. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Furthermore Ireland is a fascinating Island with a lot of amazing spots. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
