Personal comments
Well, the Royal London is pretty nice, and the O'Neil is not bad either. Sports at the university are also pretty cool, and if you're a musician, you have to try the university orchestras...

Personal comments
It's a typical campus -noise, not too much space, but also a good way to make great friends and to learn the language properly.

Of course being in England is the best way to improve your English... And I guess my oral English is better now than it was before. As for the written English, I reckon it was allright -though not perfect- before coming to Wolverhampton.
