University of Essex

I´ve been studying english for 6 years or more, so I already speak it quite good, but coming to england helped me out to get a better understanding and a cool posh accent, plus I write a lot better in english, because of the practice in writing essays.

It depends on you to interact with people, even tought it is really easy and people is really friendly, you need to be open all the time.

Transport is REALLY expensive, prepare to pay three times what you pay at home for a normal ride on the bus. That´s why its great to live on campus, you dont use it that much, at least not daily to get to your classes.

Living on campus was the best, one cool thing is that we had a cleaner, and you get to live with more people, in my case they were mostly english people so I got contact with natives and international students as well, it was just the perfect balance.

On campus entertainment is great, there are a number of pubs inside campus, the SU pub, and Mondo, Level 2, plus another small chillout pub up some stairs... plus Mondo and Level 2 become some sort of clubs after 9:00, until 2:00 am, and there is a larger venue like a club which is the Underground, great as well, plus in Colchester there are a number of clubs and pubs and places to go, too much party going on there.
