The housing offered by the school are dirty and expensive if you are a foreigner not staying for a long time, I have been able to find rooms or flats by myself for the other semesters, thank god!

Personal comments

Firstly it was very difficult because my english knowledge was totally "on the paper", I had never gone to England or so during secondary school, then it was all right, the only problem was at a personal level because sometimes it is difficult to really express yourself in other language,e.g. use your own slang.
