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!

(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Its a good university because the teachers are amazing, the courses are great, you can feel you are learning so much, the methodology is different. Bristol university is so important in the law area.

Final comments
My personal advice is: please study english before to go England. if you do this you will learn much more than if you don't know anything. Of course if you speak english it will be easier the first weeks. try to travel as much as you can because you are not going to be abroad all your life, so take advance of this year.
