Personal comments
I was there 9 years ago (1998) but the fact I am still able to write a review should tell you that I enjoyed it. The Union was good fun but it took you ages to get served on Saturdays. When I was there a new 'It's a Scream' pub opened (The Soar Point) which was very popular at the time. A real favourite was a nightclub called Mosquito Coast which had a cocktail bar downstairs with some interisting Happy Hour deals. As my social life revolved around campus life I has a boring 2 weeks around Easter when most of the English students, and als many of the Europeans, went home.

Personal comments
Before living in UK, i didn't speak english very often.
I have studied a lot in preparatory classes but not in real situation.
During one year, i have lived and sharing moments with foreign students.
I was speaking all day in english.
I was living on the campus so it was really convenient to meet people and go to the library stuying.
I have worked hard to have my exams.it was a lot of work to realize essays because it was necessary to make research and put an important bibliography.
I will say it was a very good way to improve my language skills!

I think that De Monfort University is not a university where many foreign student go to, which makes the social integration a little difficult for those who do not have a very level of english at first.

Furthermore, if you want to do student jobs it is really necessary to be payed...

If you are an international student do not pretend very much about the british students. You'll work with other international students!
