Personal recommendation:
The faculty are nice and very helpful. Although I advise keeping recieps for every payment you make to the Finance office for Accomadation or tuition fees, or any thing elsw for that matter as they tend to credit the wrong portion of your account. Try to avoid paying them in cash so that you have a record of the transaction. use a credit card ,cheque or a standing order from your bank instead. FINAL COMMENTS
Note that almost everything at the university closes for lunch. Especially administrative offices, Due any adminstrative errands between (:30 and 12 Noon and about 2:00- 4:00. If its a Friday get ther before 3:30 The shops in town often close between 4:00 and 5:30. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
