Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The location of the flats is very good and would take to much time to look for an appartment by yourself as in Athens furnished appartmens are hard to find.

The airport bus is really much cheaper than taxis. Never social talk with a taxi driver, they will just increase the price.

Look for some more space. The university is really too small for this amount of people. The library therefore is not silent at all and the cafetaria always overcrowded.

Buy the lonely planet guide of Greece (the latest edition). You really find everything you need from busroutes to prices of different activities. This is really the bible for Athens!

Personal comments
The housing was ok, but the problem was that it was expensive for athens prices. But the university arranged everything for us and I think it is difficult to find a flat on your own, specially with furniture.

Sometimes the Greeks do not speak english very good. But at least it is no problem to live there without the greek language, but i would recommend everybody to learn the basics, specially the spelling.
