Academic
Course recommendations
Most of the marketing courses and courses related to International business were good. All the courses related to human resources were really bad. I did not take any accounting courses, but I was told that they were quite good, too.

Personal comments
The differences in the course quality and the assesments were large, something should be done about that.

Personal recommendation
There was a lot of good and a lot of bad about the university, Strasbourg, and my year there in general. I would not strongly recommend it, especially to anyone looking for academic challenges, but it was fun and I enjoyed it and I'm happy to have been there.

Personal spending habits
I took advantage over the great location of Strasbourg and travelled A LOT during my year there. Nightlife became cheaper because most of the parties I participated in were organised by IECS and the drinks were cheap there... whereas in Finland this is not the case.

Personal comments
Although I marked that I knew the everyday language before I left, I had bever used it and therefore it was quite difficult for me in the beginning to speak and to understand what people said to me. I learned quite fast and I really learned a lot, although I still sometimes face problems with the language.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I did not know that finding an apartment in Strasbourg would be so easy and that the rents were subsidised by the French government. I had agreed to take the campus accommodation already before my departure from Finland for the whole year.

Personal comments
The accommodation at the campus is cheap and most of the residences are near the centre which is nice. However, the facilities and the hygiene are fairly bad, which started to annoy me in the end of the year.

Personal comments
Jimmie's was the favourite bar of the Erasmus students, and Café des Anges was nice, too. Also plenty of other nice places but I don't recall the names anymore. The best parties and events were organised by IECS, though!
