Personal spending habits
I spent more for the food because I didn't always have the opportunity to use the kitchen so I had to eat somewhere outside.
I spent more for the nightlife because I met so many people that I had to go out almost every night, even only for a few hours.
The housing was really less expensive than in Italy and I was calling only my parents and friends in Italy: I was meeting my friends there in the campus or at the university.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
To have a good social life, you should go to the cafe in the basement and to the parties organized by the business school.
Abot the academic life, I cannot say a lot because I was going to a Master program with phd students, so I had different classes than the other Erasmus and Socrates students.

Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
Everyone should have an experience abroad, both for academic, cultural and sociloa reasons. Strasborg isn't likely the tipical "Erasumus" partying city, but I had perfect time there anyway.

At beginning I had a lot of problems because I could not speak frenc at all and the French are not so experienced with english. I was lucky to have some good french friends who can speak good english. When I left the country, I could communicate with local citizens.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Living in a campus gave me the chance to meet a lot of people coming from all over the world and to speak french even if all my studies were in english.

Personal comments
It was nothing special but I liked it because it was hosting a lot of nice guys. I didn't care too much about the size of the room or how many people were using the same kitchen because I was going to be there only for a few months and I could stand not perfect conditions for that period.

Personal comments
The best place for students and foreigners was "Le trou", a small pub with revivfal music which was always crowed.
Tha "P.M.G.", a small square characterized by small cafes where it's good to spend huge afternoon and evenings, mainly duirng springtime.
""Club Seven" was the place to dance house music. It's a little bit poshy and you need to be well dressed.
During the summer, it's perfect to go to the swimmingpool. It's in Germany but far away from Starsbourg only 3-4 km.
