Program: Erasmus
Period abroad: January 2009 - May 2009
1 Housing (rent housing in Sligo, Ireland) (Sligo, Ireland hotel)

Type of housing:

Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose:
With a family
Why? Sorry for being so rude but after having spent a year in the United States, I haven't really improve my english more than that. The main problem was that our class had 100 per cent of Erasmus (Spanish, German, French). I would not recommend anybody to go for an Eramus exchange whether your own objective is to improve your english. When you hear Erasmuss talking in english, sometimes its chocking! Sorry about that!
