Personal social experience
Personal comments
There are only 3 places you want to consider go to at night (only in the weekend though). The Bex, Mandarin or DD's. The rest that Macau has to offer are casinos and karaoke bars.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The apartments arranged included everything a student needs, so there is no need to change.

Personal comments
The campus is really poor housing. You have to share your 7m2 room with someone else and the bathroom with 20 others living at that floor. You do not lay on a mtras but on a sort of wooden shelve. But the apartments that the school arranges are pretty good. Its clean, spacious and everyone has his/her own bedroom and sometimes even their own bathroom.

Living expenses are all cheaper than in the Netherlands. I spend a lot more on traveling because living in this different area in the world gave me the opportunity to experience different countries and cultures.
