Hello, again!
I also started school a year earlier, but I guess that then you generally graduate high-school a year before we do here.
About the accommodations. Here, in Sofia university, most of the rooms are small and there are three people who share the same room. I've heard that from next year on they might lessen the number to two cause of EU regulations. My rent is about 15e a month (including water and electricity), but it differs from place to place. There are some rooms which are even smaller than mine and two beds, but it's not recommended if you are claustrophobic.
There is no kitchen in those ones. There are "apartments" with 2 rooms, each with 2 people. All share the same bathroom, but some have a small kitchen-like place.
But that's about Sofia, I'm not sure if it won't be different in Veliko Tarnovo. There are also very few rooms with balconies. Actually there are some separate blocks with balconies, but they don't randomly give them in my university. You should be married/have a child/have a sibling who's also a student in that town or you just need good grades. Of course, since you are an exchange student things might stand a little bit different.
The students usually eat at canteens (which are also cheap, though sometimes not very tasty), or buy something "ready". You can also play it by ear and cook on your own hot-plate (or if your roommate has and allows you to use it) but it's not very comfortable.
Here, in my university, while filling the documents for an accommodation you can tick if you are a smoker or a non-smoker. They usually divide you so you are among non-smokers, but I know people who live with such although they've ticked they don't smoke. (plus, some people who smoke might lie that they don't in the form etc)
Oh, and I was saying that the accommodations are generally in a bad state. The buildings are old and haven't been renovated for a long time, the furniture is old, there are some bugs sometimes...
About the internet. You should have your own pc/notebook and then you should go to some internet company and tell them you want internet. But it's not included in thew rent. It usually costs from 10 to 15e and it's not very fast. (unless you are in Sofia...). Some students don't have a pc and go to internet cafes or if their faculty/university has computer labs.
That's all... I think. Sorry for my bad English, but I'm tired and in a hurry to eat (outside, as many other students, lol
).
Защо да харчим пари, които нямаме, за да купим неща, които не са ни нужни, така че да впечатлим хора, които не харесваме?
I don't even remember what standard deviation is.
BezierCurve: It's some important part of sadistics, I believe.
