HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? more comfortable and cozy, and when living together with other room mates it's cheaper
Personal comments:
my room was tiny, poorly furnished (used furniture), horrible sanitary facilities, and the walls were so thin you could hear every word from your neighbour. The windows were not airtight so it was freezing cold in the winter time. I lived together with 12 students on my floor who had to share one fridge and one shower...

Overall
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
the courses were held in English. I must say that the accent spoken in the West Midlands is quite hard for people who start learning the language because the people speak a heavy dialect. So in social life it was sometimes hard to understand them right away
