I think.. it´s important to choose a place with many different people, i mean..from different countries. Then, you can learn a lot about other places and adapt many of your customs to new ones after know how the people live in other countries. The accommodation is, sometimes, even more important than the university. And of course, one of the reasons of living an erasmus experience is to have a big and nice cultural shock.
