“During your stay at the University you have to study really really hard, but you have time to travell around during the breaks, do it, it is a great opportunity. I think, everybody should go to Owen at Vanderbilt” Read Review

How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)

Personal comments:
The american accent is very difficult to understand. I was used to the british english and tough that it would be easy to adapt myself to this new pronounciation; but it wasn't that. It took me one month and an half to feel more confortable with the language (but when I look back, I realize that my level was pretty poor)
