HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? To be more independent and do not have to register any friends that I invite at the entrance gate
Personal comments:
British campus are much better than the French ones. They offers kind of houses or appartments that you share with students from many nationalities (for my part i had asked for British girls). Rooms are big enough and you can even have a bathroom in your bedroom. You share the lounge/kitchen with your flatmates so that you can talk and share good moments with them.

STUDENT LIFE    
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
There are many pubs and bars around the JMU. In the city centre you can find different types of places: pubs, cocktail places etc. Everyone needs to find out the kind of places he/she prefers to go.

ACADEMIC    
My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
What I really appreciated was the availability teachers have for students. Lessons are given in small groups and you are not just a student, teachers know your name. This does not happen frequently in France.

Exams at end of course

It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course
Essays and/or projects at the end of course.

It was a constant struggle.

Overall
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
The fact that I lived with British girls and in a residence where there were only 3 French students helped me to make progress. At university too, I met people and after talking with them for many months I could see the improvements I had made.

KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.

Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:

Personal spending habits:
The city of my host country at that time was Aix-en-Provence which is very expensive so housing did not change a lot. About nightlife, I do not drink too much which made me save a bit of money.

Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
Grants help quite much. But it is also easy for students to find a job in England in pubs, clubs etc.

- Bus is cheap to go and visit the places around or even to go to London for a weekend - University offers many trips or visits very cheap..it is also a good way to meet new people - Liverpool is closed to Ireland so take the opportunity to go there - If you need advice, ask at the university administration or to the teacher in charge of your exchange programme, they are always ready to help - The last but not the least, spend most of your time with English-speaking people and not only people from your country or you will not improve your language skills at all...in that case it is better to stay at home !
