Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Although I let the University accomodation office find me accomodation in my first term. It was over-priced and not well-equipped at all. In my second term I chose to find accomodation independently and lived with 3 Spanish girls. This was an enormous improvement.

Overall
Los profesores dejan mucho que desear, la formación es pobre, y por desgracia son unos pocos los que realmente pueden ser llamados maestros. Además, la relación profesional-alumno deja mucho que desear, como ya he dicho más adelante, el favoritismo es brutal a la hora de la puntuación,pues lo hacen es post de lo que eres capaz de vomitar que en lo que has aprendido realmente y puedes llegar a aplicar en tu campo formativo.

Careers
Si que me ayudó a encontrar buenas prácticas. De todos modos, la forma de puntuación dependerá un poco de la suerte que se tenga con el tutor, ya que existe el favoritismo a gran escala.
