In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Erasmus students are treated differently, sometimes worse, which I did not like. Administrative Staff treats you like you were a bit stupid, just because your language skills are not perfect.
However, lecturers and students were very nice and helpful.
