Personal comments
The hall was situated in a safe and central neighbourhood of London. Access to the Campus, the main cultural sites, underground etc. was easy and perfect. Wlan was provided as well. Although the hall itself compared to halls in Austria was not that comfortable, getting to know different cultures and students from abroad and studying together with them, made the study abroad experience unforgettable.

Personal comments
My overall language and communication skills definitely improved troughout the study abroad programme. At the beginning you had to get used to the very British English, which was just a matter of time. Moreover I would say, that the experience was a great advantage when it comes to Business English and technical vocabulary.
