The housing is very expensive here. I pay much more here than at my home country. But it is normal because it is the capital, that everything will be more expensive.

Course recommendations
There is one courses which i didnt like at all, like Dynamic Systems and Modelling. The teacher didnt explain anything and we are taking this for the first time. For the first time i see that maths are tought like that and that the exam will be oral suprised me even more. We have to talk about one chapter for 15 minutes. Its ridiculous.
Another course was International Accounting where we had to write a paper, which was very difficult. The teacher treated us like analysists. We are still students. He told us we can email him anytime if we have questions but he never answers.
But all the other courses were very nice. I was amazed about the English, the teachers speak, a very clear and good english.

I had and still have much fun in this school. We are doing lots of activities. Our coordinator is such a nice and funny guy. He organizes everything so well and does everything with us.

Personal comments
The good thing is that my country has 2 local languages, Dutch which i speak not at all and French which i speak pretty well. But the problem is that at school is everything in Dutch even the things which are concerned for the Erasmus students are in Dutch. Our coordinator comunicated with us always in English but most of the papers written by the administration was in dutch and we were really struggeling some times because we didnt know if some courses were deleted or replaced or something else. I think this has to be improved, because it must not be expected from Erasmus students to speak Dutch. Everything that is concerned for them should be in English.

Personal comments
For me it was really difficult to find a housing place. My home university didnt help me. The host university was so kind to give me some adresses and websites where i can find a room, but none of them which i asked was positive. I searched a lot in the Internet until i found a room in a house far from the center, expensive in a dirty area. But the only good thing was that the people with whom i share my acomodation are very very nice and i have much fun with them, otherwise i would have looked for something else.

Personal comments
I didnt participate in any sport but in all the activities that were offered by my school. I liked the Cafe Grand Cafe. There are plenty of bars and like le Corbeau, that was pretty nice, and pubs, like Boca loca and Celtica where you can dance until morning. Music festival will still come in summer, that will be nice.
