HOUSING
by Shahira, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore
Political Science, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I prefer a personal space that comes with living in an apartment. The apartment is also convenient as it is fully furnished and has all the facilities of a home.
Personal comments:
The housing arrangements are done very well and the system is very organized. However, getting maintainence to fix certain things in the apartment take a very long time. 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 Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
I lived in the Westwood area. It is a very nice neighbourhood for students. UCLA campus is also very complete. Santa Monica and Venice beaches present a wide offer of places for shopping and leisure. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences

William Cockrum, Robert Foster and George Geis' courses were one of the bests I have ever had.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The workload was high, but challenging. However, some of the courses could be better structured, so students could manage their time better. 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. 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:
Although English is not my mother tongue, I started studying it when I was six, and I had lived before in the US. Also, being in an international environment contributed to the fact that the English used was very understandable. I had no language problems at all.
