Experience in Technological Education Institute of Thessaloniki, Greece by Tatiana

Generally, what is Technological Education Institute of Thessaloniki like?

it is a big complex of many buildings. it is a bit far from the city center of thessaloniki (so there is a lot of green and nature around), but it is easy to go there... just take the bus number 52 from the train station that is nex to the city center.. it is 20 minutes with the bus, but it is a bus that only students use so it is really hard to miss the bus stop...

What are the facilities like?

usually they are clean...
there is a gym (although i never went there so i can't really say if it is nice)
there is also a place to eat (you can eat for free if you have the card but you sould ask the person responsible for your erasmus if and how you can get it) if you do not have the card the food is not expensive but there is more tasty food to eat with the same price from other places (make sure you have at least 1 site for deievery via the internet .. i recoment e-food or deliveras.gr)
there are also animal facilities like stables that you can visit (it is a bit smelly..)
libraries in every building and a central library in the central building... there is usually a probem with heating at the winter but you will not freeze... unless you live there... i don't recoment that..
A.T.E.I.TH. is a nice institute but it has some problems with money so it is better if you do not depend on the things they give.. they say they will give you an apartment with heating but if it breaks down (whitch is very possible) you will have to stay like that for some days...or for example there is no toilet paper in the toilets... but other than that it is very nice...

What are the tutors like?

every tutor is diferent... you may find really fun tutors that you will absolutely love and others more strict that you will not like so much... but the good thing is that they are all really good at what they do... they have a lot of knowledge... it is the one thing that we are really proud of!!!

Are the lessons easy in Technological Education Institute of Thessaloniki?

sure... it depends on what you will chose what you like and what is easy for you...
but remember that if you have a good relationship with the tutor it is a lot easier to get good grades.. so go to classes and talk to them... make sure they know who you are in a good way!!!

Does the University organise activities? If so, what are they like?

mostly trips.... in mountains for ski or islands (depends on the time of year you will go... )

Do you think there is a good quality of teaching?

absolutely!!!!!!

Are there any stories you can share?

a lot... but it is better if you make your own sories... it is a really fun institute if you can get used to the greek way of leaving... you will have fun.. that's for sure... but you will also gain a lot of things...
