Languages
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
It was hard to communicate with English students because they seemed not to have interest in foreign students. Since we were plenty of internationals it was essential to speak English all the time. But unfortunately the improvement is not as good as communicating with native speakers would have been.

Housing
Type of housing: Hall of Residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
In a hall it is hard to get contact with English students. It would be better to stay with a family and to experience the everyday life there.
