“1. Use your common sense (if there is a place/district in the city people recommend you NOT to go, DON'T go)! 2. Even if it's difficult sometimes: Do as the Romans do. 3. Keep your mind open. 4. Go and travel around the country, you'll get more out of the whole experience. (I travelled some, but way too little.)” Read Review

Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Campus was a bit restless. I wanted to study and I heard for some other students that it was quite impossible to study in hall of residences.
Personal comments:
University provided a list of all the available houses, which was a great service because otherwise it would have been difficult to find a place other than a room in hall of residence.

University night club was great! There was also a pub called Cambell's nearby campus which was cozy. Many good nightclubs, but very expensive to drink in them.

Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your English?

Personal comments:
British-English itself is not difficult, but the dialects were in the beginnig. It might be frustrating at first, but everyone gets used to it I'm sure.
