Course recommendations
this university hosts a large number of international students, they seem even to dominate. It is a bit hard to find real locals, especially in the postgrad courses

My level of English before going to Australia was fairly good, over the general Spanish level in any case. I did experience some difficulty at the very beginning, mostly because most my encounter with the English language had been purely academic or in short touristy trips at most. But I coped pretty well, I think, and after a couple of months living in English (and Australian English at that) I did improve a lot, mostly because, aside from the classes, I took a job at a cafe which really helped me a lot in overcoming my shyness and finding a way to make myself understood. Even now, two years after coming back from Australia, I have a very good command of English and do miss the language everyday.

At first, it feels like you are going back to kinder where everyone(even youngers) explains to you. However, you will be excited by you improving communication skills. Not to be afraid to speak was the crucial point for me.

Course recommendations
as exchange students, in other words students who did not pay normal fees, we did not have a choice for lectures. Also, quite desappointing not to see any locals within the students
