Type of housing:
On campus

Arranged by:
Host university

If returning, I would choose:
On campus
Why? My University accommodation was cheap and ideally located

Describe host city:
Student life dominates the city

Activities take/s place mostly within the university/student environment

Travel, Nightlife take/s place both within and outside of the university/student environment

Course recommendations:
I studied Communication Studies. My subject seems to be in one of the only faculties which don't teach in English. Consequently, there are no lectures to attend or exams to take. It's all private study so you don't get much guidance from the professers. You need to be very motivated otherwise you'll be like me and leave all the essays to the last minute!

The language of instruction was:
Dutch

My proficiency in the language of instruction:
before: Did not speak it
after: Did not speak it

Learning the language of instruction was not a factor in choosing my host country

Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant

Other sources of funding:
Family

Work opportunities
I didn't want/need to work.

Personal spending habits:
Eating out was cheaper than at home but the supermarkets were more expensive. Beer is much cheaper but drinking spirits in a bar is expensive. For most bars/clubs you didn't have to pay an entrance fee which was good.

I wish I had known ...
More information about the course content would have been better. Because the faculty's not used to having many Erasmus students (as the courses are only in Dutch), we weren't provided with much information about what would be expected of us upon arrival.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
