more passionate professors like Mr McLeod from the english department! less books to analyse them more and give the students time to breath, who have two more literature courses (for u have more books to read!)

Final comments
you should see the lake district ( join the hiking society), Edingbourgh and go to international partys. Headingly is the best place to stay - especially North Hill Road! Don´t be surprised about the strange english habit to stand in a queue for everything ;-)

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
because you´re more independent than in a big student accomondation, but still with a number of students. It´s more familiar and comfotable

Personal comments
I liked the old english houses a lot! They´re much better than the huge university accomondation buildings. You have the feeling to live together with a big family. Only the work of the cleaning women was a distaster - after they left, the floor was more disgusting than before!

the cafe with the most amazing choclate cake is the "La cafeteria" at Hyde park corner. The HiFi club with the sunday joint - free jazz music!- is great.But the best partys take place at the international accomondations!!!!
