Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why? I'd live in a house basically because it's way cheaper.

Personal comments:
There are three Halls of Residence: - Glamorgan Court: The best one. Six rooms per flat, clean and modern, shared kitchen but toilet and shower of your own (this is great). I am here. - Phillip Evans: Bedroom of your own (with a hand basin), kitchen and toilets showers shared with other people (6 or 8, I don't remember). Not especially clean. - Forest Hall: Bedroom with hand basin. Shared toilet and showers. No kitchen. Catering is provided. I wouldn't like this, as no dinner is provided and there's no kitchen, so people must spend money on snacks and food separately. Apart from that, if you don't like the food they give you, bad for you...

Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community

Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment

Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment

Personal comments:
Cafe Elise, by the railway station, is a nice, quiet cafe.

Course recommendations:
- Quality of courses: This uni is the UK's third best in business, but is really easy (I know a lot of people in business, they promise it). The uni is also good for Multimedia, Software engineering and Electronics. As for the whole branch of humanities (what I do), it's complete bullshit. - Good things: Quite good technological equipments (loadsa PCs with scanners, CD recorders, color printers, Inet facilities...). As far as the interaction with local students is concerned... well, I wouldn't like to generalise, but English and Welsh people do without foreign people. They are at home and they don't need people from abroad. ...maybe I shouldn't say this but... well, a friend of mine from Mauricius was really disappointment with the relationship with the locals because of racism! Shit!

Personal comments:
There's no information for the student, the system is a bit chaotic.
