Personal comments
I stayed at Langton Close. I consider it one of the best student halls at UCL: the room was not too spacious but enough for one person. The bathrooms are shared, but you have your own basin your room. The staff are nice and friendly.

Personal comments
I had no problems in most social occasions, but find it difficult to express myself in seminars. Also I find that an ability to speak the language does not mean you are familiar with their culture; therefore, I often find the culture aspect the biggest problem of all.
