University of Glamorgan

Why? Are you joking?? Hey, folks, we're talking about the damn UK! Although this is a big town (this is no London!), the whole country is way more expensive than many in every single aspect. Hey, it's not just a saying... it's really crazy... You spend money even to breathe... I spent less in Telephone just because I call home only once a week, collect call, and I don't call anybody here (I just pop in their place!).

- Quality of courses: This uni is the UK's third best in business, but is really easy (I know a lot of people in business, they promise it). The uni is also good for Multimedia, Software engineering and Electronics. As for the whole branch of humanities (what I do), it's complete bullshit. - Good things: Quite good technological equipments (loadsa PCs with scanners, CD recorders, color printers, Inet facilities...). As far as the interaction with local students is concerned... well, I wouldn't like to generalise, but English and Welsh people do without foreign people. They are at home and they don't need people from abroad. ...maybe I shouldn't say this but... well, a friend of mine from Mauricius was really disappointment with the relationship with the locals because of racism! Shit!

There's no information for the student, the system is a bit chaotic.

I don't think so. Apart from negative aspects of the uni and the country, I am happy with the experience of being an Erasmus student!

I mean, what matters is going abroad! If I have to choose between going to a "so-so" university or staying at home, I'll go to the uni! The uni is secondary, what matters is that you make the most of your time here! But... if you have the chance... go to another uni (at least for Humanities!)

I'd live in a house basically because it's way cheaper.
