Salary was not sufficient, 2/3 of it was reduced to cover accommodation.

Accommodation (price, who provided it)
I was accommodated at hostel within the university campus. Price was not adequate regarding to offered place (overpriced). Place was provided by JECRC University/IAESTE LC JECRC.
Social life
Meeting IAESTE members (pick-up at the airport, organized events...)
The first meeting with the Head of Exchange was after my arrival at the airport. Another members were waiting at university campus and at the IAESTE office.
Events, organised by this LC, were highly dis-organised. Nothing was on time, they were not able to provide schedule for upcoming weekend even DURING the weekend. Nobody never knew where we were actually heading. I consider their members as very unreliable considering the place we stayed.
