Housing

Type of housing: A room exchange

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: A room exchange

Why?

I live in a house with 30 more ERASMUS students and we are a family together. I would never exchange this for a better accomodation.

Personal comments

I find it a very smooth process, since the host University has arranged all the necessary paperworks, all done very professionally. The accomodation itself was quite good, although a little bit more space would hurt...

Most of the people spoke English which was very good. Only older people didn't but I could interact with them in Dutch or they would try everything to make understandable. Also the University provided Dutch courses not compulsory for everyone interested in.
