Final comments

Honestly, Corvallis is not a vivid city, so there is not much to do. However, I tried to learn about my host country as much as possible and to make my stay abroad as special as possible. And I succeeded. So, you can do it as well! My travel tips: in Oregon: Silver Falls and of course the coast!!! in Washington: Seattle in British Columbia: Vancouver Hawaii! - If you can do it, do it!!

I wish I had known...

American culture. It was so hard to believe how selfish and superficial Americans are.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

Housing

Type of housing: Quad apartment (4 students) shared kitch and bath

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: I would not change where I lived

Why?

Living in Quad apartments allows you to meet and live with 3 people you have never met. It is very exciting and intersting. You also get to meet alot of other students living around you.

Personal comments

The quad apartment complex I lived in was very close to the university so that was a plus. The good thing about quads is that they are normally only occupied by fellow students. This way you get to meet alot of the people you will be going to school with.
