Personal comments
The organisation is really bad. I was supposed to have a room booked for me in the campus, and I phoned to England to be sure the reserve was done. They told me everything was fine but when I arrived the campus' rooms were full and They didn't give me any help to find a place to sleep. My language level was bad at the beginning and I had a lot of trouble.

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Since the most of students are foreigners, they shold improve the meeting points for Erasmus students and they should organise more UNI parties.

(1) Never – (4) A lot

Final comments
Even though it could have been better, I suggest to do an international experience. Troubles as well teach you how to tackle with problems.
Be careful with English, they are racist and violent.

Academic
Course recommendations
Do International marketing, very interesting. If you have time you can do many language courses, I would recommend them because there are many international students and you can practice outside University.
Avoid Small business management-useless

Personal comments
SU should organise welcome parties for Erasmus students or other parties for foreigners. They don't do too much. Parties are mostly organised by students privately.
