HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because I would like to live alone with my sentimental partner
Personal comments:
Housing at this university is a little bit like a russian roulette: you can be very lucky or very unfortunate. I was more or less in the middle, living a little bit far from university but not too far, as other students. Anyways, just the fact that they look for a flat for you and save you that problem makes it worthy. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Personal comments:
Bebop and Café Europa were my favorite spots in Tampere, though generally you will go to one spot according to where the party is. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
