Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
There are only younger students on campus and you have to share facilities with many people. Living with just four people was great for me and after a year they really felt like a family for me.

My English had already improved through living and studying in Nottingham for half a year. Therefore, the language was no problem for me this time. I felt confident and never had the feeling that I had troubles writing essays or understanding lecturers.
