Personal comments
The club on-campus should not be missed, party every wednesday and friday (but i can hardly remember). Another good pub is in St. Albans. I can't remember its name either, perhaps "The Firkin", but it is well-known among the students. Live music every friday, fair prices and good people around. Above all, the ERASMUS parties!!!!

Why?

Personal comments
The only thing to mention is that you have to look for accommodation on your own, and this turns out to be difficult, when you are still in your home country. Apart from that, everything was organised quite well.

Especially communication with other ERASMUS students was excellent. Language of instruction was sometimes hard to follow, but you could cope with it. Some Spanish students however, had more severe problems.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
the university should provide accommodation for the ERASMUS students. It is easier for local students to look for accommodation independently.
