Hey all, I'm student in economy and management in Lille (north of France) and I come to Aristote Thessaloniki University
for a year (september 2011 to june 2012) and it's not a legend like all french people I am so bad in foreign languages.

I just wanted to meet some people who are looking for roomate, because I just come back of a meeting in my university about the erasmus mobility and the person in charge just said you'll have to manage on your own concerning the housing.

If anybody have ever gone to Thessaloniki I am interested to get more information concerning the life over there.
I am also interested to learn greek, I don't know if there is any summer training course.

Ciao,
Alex

Hello there!
I study archaeology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, I'm in the 3rd year of my studies now!
Please feel free to ask me anything, I will be more than happy to help!

Alexandre, it is quite easy to find accomodation in our city, but it can be a bit expensive, flats here (with 2 bedrooms and a living room, which is what I suspect you are looking for) are rented for 350-700 euros, depending on where the apartment is(apartments with a sea view are expensive), when it was built(most buildings downtown are old) and whether it is furnished or not. I can post you some real-estate websites to see for yourself, if you'd like!

Hello everyone!
I'm Cinzia, and I'm a post graduated student at Catania University (SICILY). Maybe the next accademic year I will come to Thessaloniki.
My proposal is to improve my English, so I'would like to ask a question....In Greece, and specially in Thessaloniki, is possible to improve English language? and at Thessaloniki University are organized partiular classess for erasmus students who would improve english language?

Alexandre Biat Foi escrito há 13 anos

Hello !
Thanks Anna for the informations, I have a cousin who introduced me to his local student and friend Akis.
But it would be cool to ask you anything more and even meet you when I'll be there next year ! I don't mind of an apartment with a sea view, as many student I don't have much money, so I'm looking for the cheapest.

See you.

Anna Ouza Foi escrito há 13 anos

Hello you two!

Alexandre, there are adverts for apartments to rent everywhere around the city and in the university(and in the european programmes' office of our university, in English). I'd advise you, when you will be looking around for a flat, to have that friend of your cousin with you,if he will be in Thessaloniki around that time, or someone else who speaks the language, as some people who have apartments to rent don't speak English or French. Here is a website with apartments to rent and informations in english; http://www.remax.gr/search/searchProperties These apartments are in the central part of the city. I have to warn you that some areas can be a bit dodgy at night! Again, I repeat that you should feel free to ask me anything about the city, and of course I hope that I will see you in Thessaloniki for greek cofees!

Cinzia, there are English language lessons in our university...and of course, I'm sure that having to talk in English all the time will improve your skills a lot!

Ana Silva Foi escrito há 13 anos

Hi I'm Ana, I'm from Portugal an, I'll be going for ATEI from September to January 2011/2012. I'm also looking for a room to rent, also cheap XD
I thought ATEI had a student residence but I was recently informed that there isn't one.
Are there any other web sites where we can search for rooms to rent? or anyone else interested in renting a flat?

Hi!
I'm Kamila and I'm going to study Law at Aristotle Univeristy of Thessaloniki on fall semester 2011/2012.
I really can't wait to go to Greece but now I can't imagine how I go through all that formalities! It's terrible!
I thought about renting accommodation by myself but I heard it's better to stay in student's house. Anyone think about it?
Of course if there is opportunity I can also rent flat with someone! I'm going to Greece with my friend from my course so I think he will be willing too :)

It will be great to have some forum where more people will visit! Maybe on Facebook?
If someone fancy i leave my e mail, write me please! Will be great to get to know someone before our arriving! :))))

Hey everybody! I answer to Zena. I'm going to be in Thessaloniki on the spring semester and I can give u some informations. Many people told me Erasmus students usually get a room in a dormitory bcz it's cheaper than a flat and there r more parties. Efxinos is the cheapest, many students, u have to share a room with others and a bathroom with 4-5 students, but this building is a bit far from the university. Matsi is the nearest to the Aristotle university, good prices and u can choose a single room (not in Efxinos also if it's written on the accomodation form). Kassandrou is the most expensive, no many students but if u prefer a comfortable place it's a good one.
I think i'm going to choose Matsi ;)

PS: is someone going to leave on the next spring semester (feb 2012)?? :)
