HOUSING
by Alexandra, University of Georgia, Athens, United States
Religion/Theology, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Living at Trinity College made my trip extremely convenient. I lived in a prime location - everything being within 5 minutes away.
Personal comments:
The housing was neat considering it was such a historic building but had recently been remodeled. We had scouts to make our beds, clean the bathroom, and empty trash. The accomodations were very nice for on-campus housing 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: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Great pubs, like Bath's place. Still, don't expect London, Oxford is a little town and in wintertime it could be really boring. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
To bring sneakers or better shoes-- the guidebooks said that the Brits didn't wear jeans and sneaks much, so I didn't bring them. My feet hurt..... Also, who knew they rode so many bicycles? In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Get to know the Porter. He will be your best guide and helper. FINAL COMMENTS
Go! Don't let anything/one scare you off if you really want it. I went in the year of Mad Cow, etc. So we couldn't hike- we found more than enough other things to do. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
