Final comments
lancaster is a perfect place from where you can travel all the north of england, the lake district, the yorkshire dales. Even scotland is not more than 1 hour away by car. ALthough Lancaster and the towns nearby are quite ugly on the weekends it is the best idea to travel around.

Personal comments
the language was everywhere English i.e. with professors, with locals, with other international students. if there were language problems there was always the possibility to join one or more of numerous language and writing courses offered by the uni. communication with the other international students is of course easier in the beginning as they are somehow a group being together from the beginning through meetings and parties etc

Personal comments
Erasmus students are placed with host families which means that they have to show responsibility when in the house. That's why their independence is very much constraint. If one is not happy with the host family he/she has the possibility to move into an appartment on campus after one month.

Personal comments
on thursdays the best place to go is H2O that sell Vodka Red Bull for 1 Pound. On other days all the clubs owned by university (Sugarhouse, Carlton) are safe places to go with guaranteed fun.
