HOUSING

Humanities, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It was cheaper compared to student residences. Also, I like the fact living in a condo with a couple of nice roommates felt more like home than just renting a room at a residence. However, next time I would choose the location better, as living far away from campus and the city was sometimes not so convenient.
Personal comments:
I didn't have any personal experience about University accommodation since I regarded it too expensive for me. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...

Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Start early with your papers and term projects as some of them are really time consuming. Don't hesitate to contact or talk to the teachers, they will help you as much as they can. FINAL COMMENTS
I would recommend going snowboarding to the Rockies; Lake Louise, Banff, Golden (Jasper is not too good). Vancouver and whole British Columbia are great as well as Toronto and the lakes. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
