No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: No problems in any areas (including slang)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I did not have any trouble with the language of instruction, as I have worked and studied in English before. But some people in the class did not speak much English, and that was a problem sometimes, as we had quite a lot a group assignments and discussions. So if your English is good, be prepared to correct everyone else's papers, and allow for misunderstandings during seminars. It can be irritating at times, but if you keep your sense of humour, it can be interesting.

Personal comments:
lack of communication with local students- a bit dissapointing- I am sure that I did not loose my French accent at all! I have just mixed it with German/Greek/Spannish/Chinese accents because of seaking a lot to International students but not local
