Personal comments
Since my English was already quite good when I came to the US I did not expect any grand improvement, but I was disabused and learned that there is always an improvement possible. I surely learned at least one new word per day (academic and slang). This means I memorized 120 new words at the least!!!

First, on-Campus housing was pretty expensive at Emory. Moreover, usually I do not travel that much like I did during my exchange semester.
