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.

Personal comments
In fact I didn´t like Hatfield much at all so when we wanted to do something we went to London which only takes about half an hour. StAlbans is also a nice town not far from Hatfield. My best tip is to spend as much time as possible with english and other people from all around the world.

The Standard of the accomodations are not that high, many of them need some renovation. How you live isn´t the most important though. As long as you like the people you live with the rest is not that important.
