Personal comments
My home university in Paris provide 50% of courses in English, so I had no problem in understanding teachers. It was more difficult with people my age since I was not at ease with slang at the beginning. After a couple of weeks, I was able to understand easily any kind of situations.

On-campus housing at University of Florida is difficult to get for exchange students. However off-campus housing is very good and cheap.

Overall, interacting with local students throughout social activities (sports, associations, class projects, friends...) helped me the most in becoming fluent and in leraning the culture. I think socialing with local students is equally important to studying well in class.

Personal spending habits
Nightlife and food is really cheap in a college town compared to my home town. The rent was cheap in dollars, so in euros it was even cheaper for me. About the travels and overall leisure expenses though, as I wanted to go everywhere in florida, I spent a lot on that.
