CARMEN B
Universitat de València, Valencia, Spain
Translation/Interpretation, Undergraduate, Erasmus
Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
At the beginning i tried it out in a single room with a little kitchen in a kind of Social protected and Student Neighbourhood...really depressing and more expensive than the Campues place...so the second semester (I was there for 2) I went to live to the Campues area and things improved:more people,more friends,much nicer ambience.

Personal comments
It was not bad really.The main problem of the Erasmus scholarship is the money we get:absurd! So the monthly rent for the room at the Campues which was,in fact, 200 sthg euros,turn to be too much for any of us in a way.But you already know about this money "problem" when you sign down for an Erasmus!
