Personal comments
Accomodations were not distributed accordingly to our demand. It was actually the contrary. Asking for a cheap accomodations, with other people, you got an expensive one and alone. And asking for an expensive one but alone, you had to live in a Dormitory. I was pretty lucky but had to live alone although i has asked to be with other students.
