Academic
Course recommendations
-it s an anglo-saxon system, so you can choice between test and assigment or both of them.
-some lectures are difficult because of maltese accent.
-you have to go and look at the blackbooard of your study area several times a week.
-most of the lectures are available in a photocopying center"KONICA", thus you can be concentrated on your oral comprehension if you want.
-some lectures are based on interaction between students.

Personal spending habits
i spent more in food because of malta is an island and if you want to eat some beef, or some kind of product it s more expensive. you need between 25 and 40 euros a week.
about travel, you re more motivated for travelling when you re already abroad.

Personal comments
there is two main places in malta for student nightlife, BUGGIBA and PACEVILLE. the latter is the most famous and visited because all the maltese nightclubs are located overthere. HAVANA and FOOTLOOSE are always overcrowded. about cafes, you can find what you want from rock ambiance to RandB ambiance. After if you re looking for some places more quite than Paceville, you can go along the costline towards SLIEMA or ST JULIAN.
