Overall
I wish I had known...
I should have tried to get an appartment before arriving. Internet access in the house would have also been a good idea as the facilities at uni were a joke.

You will not regret signing up for this. It is one of the best experiences ever. Take it from somebody who's well traveled and thought that nothing's escaped me before the experience. It truly is life changing.
