Course recommendations
The quality of the courses is not really good! Most of the teachers have some communication problems. Further, they do not really deliver well-planned lectures...

Overall
I wish I had known...
For the previous question, i have put a "not quite satisfied" for "experienced a change in life, because England is my third long stay experience! So, the "change in life" was not that significant, as I was really used to communinate with foreigners, and adapt to other cultures before!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It is quite nice to live on campus as it offers several advantages. However, lots of foreign students live on campus as it is the cheapest way. As a result, it is more difficult to really get into the English culture and meet natives.

Personal comments
Personally, I think that it is too far expensive for what it is: that is to say a very small room and one shared-shower for 12 people. The problem is not the size of the room or the fact that you are sharing everything with the others, which is quite nice actually, it is just that the price does not correspond at all to this kind of accomodation.

Personal comments
If I had personally to give some names of bars or discos, i would say "The Cavern"...but, that is all...this is one of the only places that is quite different from the others! There are lots of other places, but there quite all the same: pubs, and cheesey music discos!
