Personal comments
The dormitory where I stayed was in a really bad condition. Everything was old, dirty and visibly used.
The building was situated next to a huge refinery and often there was this bad smell in the air.
But at least, the dormitory was pretty cheap.

Personal comments
First I thought that everyone will speak in English at the host university. I was a bit disappointed when I had to find out that it was not the case. Many local students did not understand me and the teachers often had a very bad accent.
