Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Describe host city: Student life dominates the city

Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
the best night is the wednesday night at the student union, then if you want to have some fun you should better move to cardiff that is only 20 minutes by train. other really good parties are the longest days which take place at the end of the year.

A better LRC (Learning Resource Center) would nice. However, Internet access is granted 24/24, which helps when resources are not availble at the LRC

I wish I had known...
I don't think so. Apart from negative aspects of the uni and the country, I am happy with the experience of being an Erasmus student!
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
I mean, what matters is going abroad! If I have to choose between going to a "so-so" university or staying at home, I'll go to the uni! The uni is secondary, what matters is that you make the most of your time here! But... if you have the chance... go to another uni (at least for Humanities!)



FINAL COMMENTS

You MUST travel around a lot. Once you are here, Ireland, Scotland and England are just some hours away... Do visit Ireland and Scotland... and London!
