I wish I had known...
If you can avoid it don't fly in to Gatwick to and the have to take the coach (bus) to Hull. It takes up to 5 hours by train and 8 hours buy bus and asfter an international flight you are exhausted. If you fly into Manchester or Humberside airports International office can arrange to meet you or phelp with transportation (with advance notice).
In my opinion:
Most people loved it.



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
The faculty are nice and very helpful. Although I advise keeping recieps for every payment you make to the Finance office for Accomadation or tuition fees, or any thing elsw for that matter as they tend to credit the wrong portion of your account. Try to avoid paying them in cash so that you have a record of the transaction. use a credit card ,cheque or a standing order from your bank instead.



FINAL COMMENTS

Note that almost everything at the university closes for lunch. Especially administrative offices, Due any adminstrative errands between (:30 and 12 Noon and about 2:00- 4:00. If its a Friday get ther before 3:30 The shops in town often close between 4:00 and 5:30.
