HOUSING
by Daniel, Universidad de Deusto, Bilbao, Spain
Political Science, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? it´s close to the uny and the city center. I know people living there. It´s also not very expensive
Personal comments:
The service was good and the facilities were ok, we had internet, Tv and doctor. The only problem was that my place was to far from the uny and the city center. But I have very good time there and I meet a lot people and this what I wanted 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:
Bambou is a cosy and classy club and probably the best club in Glasgow : they have special nights for students. Otherwise do not miss any big night in the university student union or the Garage. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
