“Great experience in term of personal development. I became more open-minded. Travel from France via Wasteels : this the cheapest. Great photo lab at Wye where you can print your B&W pictures, beautiful countryside all around and only one hour and an half from London !!!” Read Review

HOUSING

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: On campus
Why? that is the best place to meet the other students, to get to know their culture in practice
Personal comments:
It was quite expensive as it was more than £200 per month without grants, but it is very good for foreign student as you have a place to live where you arrive and you share the flat with other students. No problem of integration
