Personal recommendation

I suggest to provide an opportunity to attend english lessons (to have lectures in english), because it can be usefull not only for exchange students but also for domestic students. According my opinion,this possibility was very poor.

Personal comments

I was generally pleased with my university residence. My room served all the functional purposes I needed and had a telephone line and free internet access in the room which was brilliant. The accommodation was fairly clean. The major disadvantage was the cooking facilities. Although the kitchens had fridges in them you couldn't keep your food in them as people stole it and there weren't any ovens either. But apart from that, I was satisfied with my accommodation.

Personal comments

The housing was not the cleenest of places (although the common areas were clean at least once a week by a house maid), but had all the needed facilities. The rooms were fairly costed and in no way small, although the house was in an already quite old building. Combined with a good location (7 minutes by bycicle to University), however, it was an overall good housing.

“On scientific and academic cooperation in the context of political confrontation”

europa u

Ukraine, Masters
, 2022

Overall

PROS: HISTORICAL ATTRACTIONS, SEVERAL FREE BONUSES, INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, CHEAP FOOD, SEVERAL HONEST AND WARM PEOPLE.

CONS: SCIENTIFIC LEVEL MAY BE IMPROVED, EUROPEAN NATIONALISM, POLITICALLY MOTIVATED DECISIONS.

Full review: https://rentry.co/osaacitf

This review focuses on academic activities conducted by European educational institutions, universities and research institutions. Many universities, organizations and laboratories are active participants in the common space of academic scientific and educational cooperation. Some organizations provide funding, while others use grants for various collaborations, internships and research tasks. Leading European universities are actively involved in this process. Funding is also used to organize various events, conferences, lectures, seminars and schools for undergraduate and graduate students.

Various academic organizations, universities and research groups are currently receiving generous funding streams. Funds come from both government agencies and corporations and individuals. These are grants from governments and leaders of countries, government agencies, large corporations, as well as various benefactors.

An important goal of all this generous funding is to maintain a healthy scientific environment and develop cooperation between different countries, academics and universities both inside and outside the EU. It is important for academic organizations to maintain contacts with "good" countries that maintain friendly relations with the same political bloc. These are the EU, Great Britain, the United States, these are NATO member states and their allies. In addition, this academic environment successfully interacts with students and faculty from countries with high birth rates or large populations. These people today are happy to accept European values, preferences, ideas and priorities. For example, these are the regions of Hindustan, Asia and many other countries. In this context, various issues arise, such as academic, linguistic, political and ethical.

Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

Because as a student, living on campus, gives one the opportunity to have a much subsidized facilities that will make life pleasing and much comfortable, and most of these facilities (e.g internet)are provided at a very low cost. In addition, one avoids the likely problems of living with house owners if one has to go for private homes.
