Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
Well, in the beginning was awful because i couldnt communicate myself, even i had problems to go from the airport to the town. I couldn't understand what the taxi-driver was saying me. The first weeks were so hard because everything was new to me (opening a bank account, asking where it was everything, going to the university, making friends...) but fortunately i improved my english so fast. The third month i was able to do everything i needed in a proper way, but of course, i wasn't able to speak and to understand perfectly (even now i can have some problems). But, in summary i'd say it all went pretty well. The experience was amazing. i made so many friends, i was able to pass 3 of 4 subject i had, i learnt so many things about the english culture. And happily i learnt english. So...is there anything better than study abroad? I don't think so! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My English is a lot better than before. The language of the country and university are the same, what gave me the chance to concentrate on it. At the beginning it is really hard to get into the texts, if your english is as bad as mine at the beginning, but the teachers normally accept that and are considerate.

Too many international students at Uni, hard to find local students to talk to. In general, you will improve your english standard once you are in the UK as everyone around you speaks English (mainly). This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

As it was difficult to interact native students, my learning process was not completely succesful. Within the international community (Erasmus students) we did not have communication problems. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
