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

Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

It is a good opportunity to meet other international and greek students and have permanent contact with them, get to know the culture, the localization of the residence is good

Personal comments

It is not too difficult to find accomodation in private flat, which taken with a group of people may be a better solution. The student residence is really poorly equipped and not in really good condition, but if somebody likews the social life it is still a good option
