HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? It was nearer to my Department and in the International hostel it gave me he opportunity to live and interact with students from different countries.The multicultural experience was enriching for me it gave me valuable life skills like learning to respect others differences and always look out for the good in others don't dwell on what makes you uncomfrtable about them.
Personal comments:
The setting was good reading environment i.e quiet,rooms are good enough spacious enough. Cleanliness greatly improved by the time i left.there were facilities that would have made my stay more comfortable like internet connections in rooms,intercom to each room,better equipped kitchen on each floor.Otherwise it was comforable enough for a student and the International students center gave tried to make my sta comfortable they listened to students complaints and took action.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Was learning the local language a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my knowledge How much did you improve your local language?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: Basic phrases Personal comments:
In the begining it was difficult to understand what was even spoken in Engish because the accent was not easy to comprehend but with time i got used to it and it sounded normal.OFcourse with fellow students the slang was difficult to understand.With the community you sometimes had to use sign language especially in he market.
