Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
To live in an independent Apartment/House is fine, but not in the town's suburbs, like I did. I would choose to live closer to the town center, so to have better connections to the university, to shops and to friends.

Personal comments
It was very difficult to find a good apartment, because in England you can't find a housing if you are not in a group (and I came alone to Bath). The university does not give an apartment to exchange students who stay less than a year in Bath. But the accommodation office of the university provides everybody with a list of free apartments/rooms in Bath and surroundings. Prices for rooms are very high.

Academic
Course recommendations
That really depends on the personal interests. Personally, I loved the course "Organisational Change & Design". The teacher is great, but it is hard to gain a good mark.

Personal comments
Some courses (for instance: "Environmental Management") could be a bit less boring. Overall a very good university. The campus is wonderful, the city of Bath a jewel.

Personal spending habits
England is terribly expensive, everything costs at least twice as much as in Italy or Germany. Moreover, when I was in England, the Euro was very weak, thus the prices seemed to be even higher.
