HOUSING
by Gregor, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
Computer Science/IT, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Contact with Canadiens as I shared the house with them! Be independent!
Personal comments:
There is the possibility to go on campus (Columbia Lake Village, 2 terms only) which cost much more! I was lucky with my house and the people, on the other hand, if you'd like to meet lots of exchange students, go on campus! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? More independent and cheap
Personal comments:
Although is very comfortable place to live and very near the University, everything is arranged and there are too many rules. Price was pretty expensive too. Anyway living on campus you have the chance to meet many people This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? It is a great opportunity to meet all people and make a social circle from all over the world and canada.
Personal comments:
I had stayed in a residence called 'Columbia Lake Village' which is espeacilly for exchange student and upper-year canadian student for 8 months, and had lived off-campus for 4 months. The cost is a bit higher than market price, but the residence, CLV, offered a very nice garden, clean housing and great opportunity to make social connection. CLV runned its own programs such as Holloween party, BBQ party and niagara trip etc, so that people could actually have a chance to get to know each other.

Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I would choose differently, as then I would gain a new experience. The first place I stayed at was great, but if I stayed there again it would not be the same. Staying at a new place would be a new experience.
Personal comments:
The accomodation at the University was excellent, where I stayed they made the stay enjoyable and had many activities, also there is a great range of accomodation. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The architecture of the building Im living in is pretty bad: There is no place to live, no "social place" to meet people. By choosing to live on campus, you have less opportunitiers to go out from university.
Personal comments:
For my experience, I must say that the suite Im living in is pretty small; it's pretty difficult to meet people: Im in this since 6 month, and I do not even know who are my neighbours! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
