There will always be something that no one told you. Finding some things out on your own is necessary in the growing process.

Personal recommendation
Live near the campus, and interact with British students as much as possible. It is easy to only associate with other foriegn students, but half the fun is making friends with locals.

“Accounting and Finance Student”

Accountancy, 2022
Overall
The course for first year develops your proficiency to get everyone up to a set level. This includes mathematics (even if you haven't studied A level) as well as accounting basics. Accountancy is taught in a clear fashion and the teachers are good at what they do. There is also other modules like economics and general presentation/interpersonal skills. This is good for developing yourself. You then have to choose between Accounting or Finance for second year. However, either way you still have some modules that cover both Accounting and Finance so either way you go you could still go into the other field. Finance has not been too hard so far. I am interested in Corporate Finance and therefore find it interesting

Yes! The HUGE problem with the fact of going abroad the last year of your studies is that, contrary to your friends who stayed at the home University, you can't choose options and don't specialized yourself. As a matter of fact, when you come back to your country, you feel that you haven't learnt anything by doing basic subjects in another language.
It's make the things more complicated when you have to apply to more specialized studies (DESS).

To enhance the communication within english and international students, even if it means in some cases to educate some english students who seem narrow-minded.

Take yellow pages in order to find societies or sporting clubs outside of the campus. Sometimes it's even cheaper in the city.
You have to enroll to societies in order to meet students from every countries, and especially native speakers.
