I wish I had known...

Don't expect normail universities, they are really strange. The weather during the winter is cold from november till the end of march. Traffic is crazy, having a car could be a nightmare.

In my opinion:

Most people loved it.

Personal comments

greeks usually speak good english, although not in the administration offices. For people who have to make a residence permit it needs lot of patience and nerves, cause nobody really knows where you should go, what you should do, and when, and how to explain it, cause they don speak english
