HOUSING
by Eva, Universidad de Oviedo, Oviedo, Spain
Humanities, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? Best opportunity to practise language, plus to know people and establich long-term contacts.
Personal comments:
I lived at four different places over two years. Only the last one was really good, with two friends at a spacious house. Otherwise, whether sharing with a group of seven or with my landlady, there were problems with the cleaning or the price. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Night life, travel and sport activities (!) as well cost a bit, so experiences depend on available founds :-l I would advice to buy sport center membership card, 40 pounds, gives opportunity to join many sport activities. Good movies in East Art Cinema as well as in student's cinema. Very well organised student union. 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?
No, it wasn't. Personal comments:
Bradford is a city in Yorkshire, which means terrible accent. However, with a little help of good will from yorkshire citizens you can work it out ;-) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

EXPENSES

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant Other sources of funding:
Family Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work Personal spending habits:
'cos everything is more expensive. The food in markets is simmilar or even sometimes cheeper, depends on what you are able to eat ;-) Of course if not cooking by your own expenses for food rise. Very expensive traveling.ADIVICE - buy a good map and go hitchhike ! Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Food: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
Open an account in a local bank - cash bonus guarantee (50 pounds?). For international calls use cards you can buy in phone shops. Bring a car if you want to travel a lot. If planning to travel a lot by coaches buy a coach-card. Never use trains :-) Sometimes 2 pounds more for b&b is much better choice than youth hostel. Travel by hitchhiking, it works thoug many people say it doesn't. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
