I wish I had known...
I would have like to know how they taught the course. Most of the teachers do not usea corebook for their course, as they do in the Netherlands, but use articles instead. It is up to the student to get deeper in the subject by choosing its own materials (articles, books etc)

The accomodation is very nice, clean but expensive. But that is the UK! I also had to pay extra for internet connection, washing mashine. And the heating wasn't always on.
