I find the Wiki site to be very helpful especially to students are are considering going for the Erasmus programme at some point during their studies. The site is filled with very important information from what is the Erasmus programme to practical things like lodging rates and cost of daily living. I especially liked the etiquette section. I won't be going on an exchange anymore but reading the different etiquette for each country will definitely come in handy if/when I go and visit. I'm always worried I may be disrespecting other people just because of my unfamiliarity of their culture. So that section in the site caught my attention. (I noticed punctuality as a common point in most countries' etiquette section and couldn't but feel very sheepish for our tardiness the first few days. But rest assured, we're trying our best to be on time now).
Another interesting section for me are the 'Recreation and Social Activities for the Students' section where fun activities and must see places are listed down. Again, seeing as I'm not going for an exchange, my use of it will be more for tourism than anything. But it's still very useful.
I think that aesthetics wise, the wiki page can still improve immensely. Possibly the formatting and the photos used. It also needs to be updated because some things may have changed (especially prices and the bus system in Malta, particularly) over the last year or so.
