Personal comments
There was a big mix of students in Manchester - from all over the UK. You get used to a lot of slangs. It is important to stay a way from people who speek your own language because you easily find yourself speakting (in my case) German. Get yourself involved in a sport team or another social team where there are hardly any internationals - that is important!!
