Course recommendations
I found the undergraduate curriculum rather school-like, and not very academic. Again, it is a matter of personal preferences, but be alert.

Personal comments
More individual projects and presentations (only one opportunity at the end of the course so far) would be a good idea.
Group work doesn't always work out well.
More independent study would be nice. The lectures are not worth the journey to the campus 7 miles outside the town (at least for IT students), downloading them and studying them independently is usually just as or more effective.

There wasn't so much a language barrier as there was a culture barrier. Interesting lesson to learn... =)

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Uni accommodation is full of undergraduate students, you feel a bit like in a huge kindergarten or teenager holiday camp. Would be good for socialising, though - it depends on your preferences.
