Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English

My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
Through the MA programme undertaken I had a tangible opportunity in clearly developing my language and communication experience. Furthermore, as a result, I was made aware of and managed to use the corresponding academic language (political sciences, international relations) in a satisfactory manner.

Personal spending habits:
Accomodation here has more faccilities to pay for. I travel more hear , seeing new paces and travel to job locations. In my home country most of my telephone calls were local. Now I have to make frequent international calls to home country -to keep in tourch with family

Food, Nightlife: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
One always has the choice to spend or not to spend and how much to spend. Buying from shops of distributers is less costly and weekly courch or bus tickets reduce travel costs and early morning calls are less expensive.
