Personal comments
The Erasmus Students Association in Athens arranges accomodation for incoming students. The appartment has to be paid (total rent + deposit) in advance. Until now you don't know your accomodation. The appartments are very different. If you don't like your appartment you have the possiblility to change. The most disappointing thing in my appartment was that there was now washing machine!

Overall
I will describe the university from my point of view, but please bare in mind that i was not into everything that was happening there, because i was working too. The first years of studies were very weird. Classes were overcrowded, nobody was paying attention to the teachers, there was a lot of noise and as a result you could not concentrate. Also, all these young student parties that exist in there are very annoying and the fact  that they can disturb the teachers and the courses whenever they want is also very annoying. I don t know what is happening now, but in my years everybody could smoke everywhere in the campus and it was disgusting. Something else about the student parties, all they did was to pollute and destroy the campus facilites with their posters, brochures etc. My teachers were very well prepared and smart, some of them though could not communicate or share their knowledge. These were the minority though. We had all the facilities we needed to do our research and studying. Our teachers were helping us with this. Secretaries of our department were very helpful too. Ersamus program is definitively a plus. Finally,the fact that the asylum protects everybody in there is not right. Just consider all of the times that fights have happened in there with nobody to protect us. I think we have misunderstood the idea of asylum in there.

Personal comments
Teachers are sometimes absolutely not able to speak English. French and Spanish students are sometimes really hard to understand because of there pronunciation. In everyday life the differences are very high. Some Greek people got strange or even angry when you don't speak Greek. A big surprise was that lots of very young people were already able to speak English.

Personal comments
everything (time of classes, etc.) seems to be disorganized at first sight, but surprizingly enough things work out fine at the end. you better get used to it since these cultural differences will hardly change. better accessibility to computer labs would be great (opening hours)!

Final comments
You should use the weekends to travel around the mainland or to some islands. Ferries for Greek students (incl. Erasmus) are very cheap (only slow ferries). Take care by renting cars. It is better to pay little more and have an overall insurance. GREEK TRAFFIC IS CRAZY!!
