HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I had a good experience living with 3 roommates. On campus housing in Davis is only for 1st year students. Most appartment complexes are very well equiped and mostly students live there.
Personal comments:
Nothing was arranged but i found it fairly easy to find a place on line. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

When I arrived, I didn´t understand too much. I thought that never I could speak with people. I thought the people speak very fast and with a difficult accent. But in a couple of days it was different and I understand the people. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Don´t be afraid because there are a lot of international students like you. Is a place quite and undangerous. The american people are different than ours, and you can feel it in their way of life. FINAL COMMENTS
I have been in the university of Davis, because I wanted to improve my english level and learn some experiences about my carrer. One of my university teacher gave me the oportunity of colabotrating in a laboratory. Once I was there I had the oportunity to atend at genetics lectures. The subject was about biothecnology for plant breeding. The teacher of my laboratory sugfested me to atend at this summer course. For my financial supports there I was teaching spanish. My student was a eleven years old boy. The life there it was very expensive for me so I couldn´t travel as much as would like This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
