Review by goodyeyes iNote    Ask this person a question
Course: Undergraduate goodyeyes iNote 's
overall rating:

3.2/4
University of origin: Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea, South
Country of nationality: Korea, South
Area of study: Literature
Program: University Agreement
Period abroad: April 2007 - March 2008
1 Housing (rent housing in Munich, Germany) (Munich, Germany hotel)

Type of housing:
student dormitory

Arranged by:
Host university

If returning, I would choose:
Apartment/House
Why? Though living in a student dorm is cheaper, the size of the room is too small. Also, sharing one kitchen with eleven other people is sometimes uncomfortable. Next time, i want to live in a space where it is easy to keep my private life and where i can manage my own stuffs.

5 Expenses

Main source of funding:
Family

Other sources of funding:
A private grant

Work opportunities
I worked during my study abroad experience.
Other kind of work

Personal spending habits:
To send a message or to make a call was more expensive than in my home country. Furthermore, i used pre-paid phone as i was supposed to stay only for a year and that's one of the reasons why the bill was higher. When it comes to traveling, i came from Asia, therefore, it was a lot cheaper to travel around other European countries, other than that, i found many special offers for student and that is why i could travel around in a reasonable price.
