Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? I would choose differently in order to meet more students and to benefit of the campus atmosphere
Personal comments:
I had a very good accomodation as I was the roommate of someone who was in the appartement since 2 years. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Go to "Have a Nice day" cafe. You will find lots od bars where you could listen rock bands in downtown. As you are in Nashville, the country city you should also try places where you can dance country. All the places you can find are outside of the town. You need a car to go there but this is lot of fun This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
As an exchange student you don't have access to all the classes because all the places are already booked by the full-time students.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
The american accent is very difficult to understand. I was used to the british english and tough that it would be easy to adapt myself to this new pronounciation; but it wasn't that. It took me one month and an half to feel more confortable with the language (but when I look back, I realize that my level was pretty poor) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
I really think it is one of the top selections for the USA, not very big, you know everybody, the academic level is excellent. Coments with others classmates from my homeuniversity, make me feel sure about this recommendation FINAL COMMENTS
During your stay at the University you have to study really really hard, but you have time to travell around during the breaks, do it, it is a great opportunity. I think, everybody should go to Owen at Vanderbilt This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
