Personal comments
During my time in Greece I spoke first of all English (expecially with other Erasmus students), then Italian (with some friends and some teachers who worked in the Italian language department) and Greek (who some teachers and some people who didn't speak English). Anyway, I improved my English and I learned a basic Greece language.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because I liked sharing a flat with other students, but if I could go back I wouldn't rent an apartment near the University, but in the center of Athens
