No, it wasn't.
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
The language was the same, therefore there was no problem in communicating. Although the language was the same, it was amasing how other words are used for the same meaning.

Gabriel B
Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The architecture of the building Im living in is pretty bad: There is no place to live, no "social place" to meet people. By choosing to live on campus, you have less opportunitiers to go out from university.

Personal comments
For my experience, I must say that the suite Im living in is pretty small; it's pretty difficult to meet people: Im in this since 6 month, and I do not even know who are my neighbours!
