HOUSING
by David, ESADE Business School, Barcelona, Spain
Financial Management, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? That is if I had to study because of the residence hall was so close to the school.
Personal comments:
It was very decent but the majority of the residents were freshmen so the changces of networking with people of your same age were limited This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Sally's, Blarneys and spin for night clubs/drinks were always good fun. Uptown was the hot spot with the independent, chino latinos and tonic. Dinkytown has good restaurants (Loring pasta bar). This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Try to get into the MBA courses. They are excellent, demanding and provide good insight in the US business world.

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: My level after: Personal comments:
It was easy to talk to teachers and you had to participate in class, as it was part of your grade. Furthermore I think my language knowledge improved a lot! 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:
Family Government assistance Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Food was more expensive than in my home town and supermarkets were hard to reach. I met many new people so I wnet out a lot (not more expensive than home). I also travelled a lot, prices were slightly lower than at home. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
Don't wire transfer money to the US. There are hefty penalties for overdrafting a US bak account. Get a US credit card for cheap online offers (they usually require US ZIP codes). Take a meal plan, it is way cheaper. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
