HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? I had the opportunity to compare myself with people of different cultures and to discover many of my communications and adaptations skills, regularly living and studying with people coming from different continents
Personal comments:
It's a good occasion to exchange moments, opinions and experiences with people that could have different points of view, because of other cultures 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, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
I organized many erasmus events inside on the campus. Pubs, discos, theatre and concerts were the only options in a quite small city. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
