I wish I had known...

In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
In the last few months there have been a lot of changes in the university. For example the main campus will soon be in Lincoln and the administration wasn't always of any help. So it is very nice to be here but because of those changes I wouldn't really recommend it.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would choose to stay at the same accomodation because I had a good experience in the first place, apart from the costs.

Personal comments
The accomodation services the university provides are alright, as they give addresses to students who want to organize their accomodation themselves. A bit more help from the home university would have been an advantage.
