Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? When I go back I would prefer to have a professional life during which i feel i should have an independant living maybe with my own family
Personal comments:
I live at the Roberts way which is a very good and affordable place on campus. It has this community feel about it. The kitchen being a common one and more homely, is a good place to meet people, make new friends and enjoy with old ones

Overall
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I am a bit sad since I was hoping to live with english people and learn a lot more english. Instead I lived with french and italian people who hardly new any english at all. So they imporoved alot more than I did.
