Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would choose differently, as then I would gain a new experience. The first place I stayed at was great, but if I stayed there again it would not be the same. Staying at a new place would be a new experience.

Personal comments
The Bomber, the on-campus pub was the best place to be, exspecially to socialise! There was also a on-campus nightclub called Fed Hall, which could be quite good!
There was also many keg parties, that should not be missed!

Languages
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
The language was the same, therefore there was no problem in communicating. Although the language was the same, it was amasing how other words are used for the same meaning.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits
I spent more, as I was living away from home, therefore there are more expenses. Also I thought that I was only going to be there for a short period, therefore I wanted to experience as much as possible.
