I studied at the University of Crete in the department of Philosophy many years ago. It was the most innovative and pioneering University at that time and it still is as it gives you the opportunity to be specialized in a subject that you are interested in whereas you can attend many different modules no matter your preferred stream. In addition, there are many research opportunities for a student to explore as all the departments promote interdisciplinary collaboration. The professors are easygoing and well trained. In my time, there wasn’t any available type of accommodation but I visited last year and there is a recently renovated student hall with a big capacity. I would definitely recommend it to Erasmus students who are interested in linguistics studies and history as they can participate in a series of field trips and they will enjoy their free time by exploring the island of Crete.
