Personal comments

Accomodation was generally satisfying, even though rooms were quite small. Kitchen facilities were excellent, flats were clean. It was fun living together with students from England and Dubai. However according to German standards flats were too expensive.

In the beginning I spent a lot of time just with other international students and their English was of course also not really good, but when I realised it, I started to spend time also with English native speakers and it was great fun!

Personal comments

From my point of view, Uxbridge, a town you can reach with a bus from the campus, offers a wide variety of pubs, shops, sport facilities and a cinema. I go there at least twice every week and I enjoy it very much.
