Ciao Federico!

Io sono di Barcellona ma questo hanno ho fatto un Erasmus a Roma, studiando Storia dell' Arte a la Sapienza, da settembre 2011 a febraio 2012. È stato fantastico! Se ci vediamo a Leiden vedrai come studiare a l'estero è une delle cose piu belle che si può fare!

Io mi sono laureta a febbraio ma adesso voglio fare un Master a Leiden. Non è ancora sicuro perche sto aspettando che mi dicono se mi acettano o no... Asperiamo di si! E debo fare anche l'esame d'inglese... Sarebbe bello incontraci lì, così possiamo fare intercambio italiano-spagnolo!

Sai gia come fare per trovare casa/residenza? Io ho cheisto a l'università di aiutarmi, ma non mi hanno detto ancora niente.

Ci sentiamo!

ciaoooo

Hi Paula :)

I'll be studying at Leiden too, doing an exchange with my university (sydney) .. I'll most likely be doing Psychology and Anthropology subjects.

I have no idea which housing is the best.. i've been contemplating which ones to put as my preferences...

Kaarsenmakersstraat and Herengracht look nice.

Ugne Kleinauskaite Écrit il y a 12 ans

Hi, I'm Ugnė and I'm gonna be in Leiden for first semester next year doing Art History :)

And I am also confused about all the accommodations possible. Any suggestions?

Federico Cupola Écrit il y a 12 ans

Labas Ugne,
I'm also looking for the accomodation. I suggest you (if you have facebook) the group "LEIDEN HOUSING". A lot of guys share their offers and you can choose. :)
I also found another website, called www.stichtingroofs.nl, and you need to register. 
Hope to be helpful! Iki!

Hi Paula, I have applied for a room through that website too :)

I also applied for "Hugo de groostraat"  - alongside "Kaarsenmakersstraat" and "Herengracht". So I might end up living in the same residence as you! :)
