Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? New accomodations very close to University,library, sports center and supermarket!Everything is arranged including for example Internet connection...
Personal comments:
While I had to move twice since the accomodations had to close down in June and we as January cohort were still in the middle of our course, my experience at UWE has been a pleasant one.

Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
In my course, the lecturers should invite professionals in different business area to talk about their job, their experiences. So we, students, could ask them questions, and this helps to reltae our studies to the needs of some job positions.

Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English

My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I improved my English throughout my whole stay in Bristol. I was speaking English everyday. I only had a few opportunities to speak my mother tongue.I am very pleased today to be able to speak a very good English. During the Academic year I took English classes to prepare the Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English. It helped me to read faster and write better.

Personal recommendation:
I recomend UWE because I found the life on campus agreable, the courses are fine but the most important is that the lecturers are accessible. (At least those teaching in my program MSC International Management).



FINAL COMMENTS

Start to look for an accomodation very soon (around April or May). You can find some flexible part time jobs: barman/maid (on or off campus). If you can, choose your housemates, because yu will be living with them for a whole year.
