Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam (EUR)

The building itself was okay. But some problems appeared soon after the arrival. Firstly the rent suddenly increased a lot, without any warning. Secondly, a worksite (very noisy)started one month after arrival and this only few meters from our building. Thridly, we couldn't negociate an other telecom provider than the one furnished by the University. Fourthly, frustrating feeling (which does not help the relation with the locals) when we realiseed that the Dutch students paid much less for a much better apartment. But the relationship with the international student was great.

The housing is arranged in general very well, though of course there are always some things that do not work. The best thing about living in International House, Casa Erasmus or Erasmus Lodge is the hundreds of other exchange students living with you! The rooms are quite spacious and the flats are shared only between two or three persons. There is an easy transportation from the place to basically everywhere.

it's very close to university and is a good way of meeting other exchange students

Dont even think about not going to the International House-Casa Erasmus-Erasmus Lodge complex. Everything is happening there. Even the ones living away, they were always trying to be invited to these places. The African Inn is not the best choice. Most of the students ask to be transfered because it is far and in a strange neighborhood

i was nice to live with other international students

I think that the school has done as much as it can to provide us with a better housing. In my knowledge the school have made arrangements to future students to be housed on-campus.
