HOUSING

Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Even though the house, that I lived in was great, the distance to the university was quite long. Therefore, I would rather live on campus next time.
Personal comments:
Whether you want to live in the university residences or privately depends on your needs. If you live in a house, like I did, be aware that you live there with other people. On the one hand, this is an opportunity to learn more about other cultures (if they are not yours) and you can improve your language skills. On the other hand you have to find compromises in cleaning, volume of music etc. If I lived in a shared house again, I would make sure that my flat mates are in the same semester like I am - it makes things easier, believe me. Students in the first semesters tend to have more parties, students in their final year are more serious with their studies. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
The day of the students was on Thursday in the disco of the town. You could go out another days but was full of english people and the enviroment was a bit difficult, so that days you could make parties in houses with other exchange students: was really nice This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Personal savings Other sources of funding:
Government assistance A private grant Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Rent, food and alcohol were cheaper than in Finland, hence the savings. I travelled quite a lot as travel expenses were lower than travelling from home. From Hull, it's especially easy and cheap to go to Holland. Hull University student travel agency was great!!! Travel, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Food, Nightlife, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
I saved a lot in expenses by using Aldi (incredibly cheap grocery store). I bought huge amounts of food every fortnight. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
I wish I had known a bit more about Hull itself, as it isn't the prettiest of towns and the university. In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
In the last few months there have been a lot of changes in the university. For example the main campus will soon be in Lincoln and the administration wasn't always of any help. So it is very nice to be here but because of those changes I wouldn't really recommend it. FINAL COMMENTS
To sum things up one might say that Hull is a real student town and it's charm can be dicovered, even if it seems difficult to see it at the beginning. Oh, and everything people say about British wheather.....IT'S TRUE! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
