the only way to improve a language is going to that country. There is where you "activate" your skills and you can speak fluently in about 3 weeks.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because there you meet people from everywhere, and you learn how to live with people whose traditions are so diffferent from the ones you have. And I had a great time when I was in Guildford living in Campus, so I would like to do it again (if I could)

Personal comments
It was great, I have no words to explain how good it was. You learn a lot about life, to learn also to be patient because you live with 7 more who, at the begining, are not your friends. You share lots of experiences. It was the best experience of my life.

Personal comments
Living in the Campus has so many advantatges: twice a week we had parties in the Students Union, so USSU is a good place to see, specially during the "thematic" nights. Surrey is so nice to visit, the Casttle there is so nice. And Guildford is close to London, so you can go there easily.
