HOUSING
by Eduardo, Universidad de Sevilla, Sevilla, Spain
Engineering, Computer, Erasmus
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

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Diiva, nice but small club atmosphere Night Train, larger dance place with techno music Best parties organised by student organisation of BOOMI, check their website www.boomi.org! Lots of travel is being organised by them as well. Don't miss Hameenkatu Approbatur in December, largest student event in Finland!

Personal recommendation:
Very good university, with big library, good academic life, great place for a international students, FINAL COMMENTS
Tampere is the second biggest city in Finland, so it's not a small village. You can find theatres, cinemas, a lot of shops, cafeterias, etc. But it's not a big city neither. You can find a lot of green there, woods with beautiful lakes. Sometimes you miss sun there, but the winter is marvelous. As for the trips go to Tallin, Lapland and St. Petersburg!!
