i was afraid of potential problems, cause i've heard that the Greeks dont speak English! But I was completely wrong. I had no problem at all.

“University of west Attica”

Overall

Technologiko ekpedeftiko idrima is now calles university of West Attica.
The university due to the political instability has been through lots of turmoils and that has an impact on the studies.
There is no adequate funding and therefore not enough sufficient space and equipment.
As far as the teaching stuff is concerned i will say that there are a few teachers that make the difference in the school but there are also some of them that have nothing to do with the field they are teaching

Pros

informative secretary's office

Cons

adequate space and equipment, reorganization

Final comments

If you are about to rent an appartment in the centre of Athens dont miss the opportunity to visit the suburbs as well, like Glyfada and Kifisia. Whatsomore you can get to the Greek islands fast and cheap
