Course recommendations
Not all the courses are disatisfying. But some lecturers are not responsible for students.

Personal comments
One of my favourite night spots is an Australian pub called the Walkabout, the music is very good there as well as the atmosphere. Another nice place is Bar Madrid on Monday and Thursday night.People teach you how to dance samba and salsa!! As for the cafe, I like Aroma, though it's a bit expensive...but the place is nice. There are lots of places and events not to be missed! It's London, you know!! They have good exhibitions and I have to say that the British Museum is a must as well as the National Gallery

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
The relationships with other international students, and the experience gained living with them, are both invaluable. Moreover, the proximity to the University itself and local resources (transportation, counselling, etc.) were a plus.

The housing is decent, considering what you get in terms of relationships, cost, and proximity to local resources. There were hired personnell for both security and for cleaning our facilities. I would definitely choose to stay at one of these on-campus residences again.

I really like the Hanover Grand, but unfortunately it is closed now. The Zoo Bar also is very nice and worth going. My favourite pub is the Buzz Bar.
