At the beginning, you can feel embarrassed by some situations where you can be blocked by a simple word. When you begin to fauth you more and to really improve the language, it is a very exiting experience.

Overall
I wish I had known...
I would have know before that it was completely unconvenient to leave the campus and go to the airport or cincinnati

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
It is a very isolated university, no buses to go to the airport or Cincinnati for example, and the taxi is about 75 dollards for the lap! You can find american friendsto bring you up but it is always frustrated to be not independant.

Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
dorm is not a real free area. It includes a lot of rules to respect particulary for underaged people. It is hard for a european people of 25 years old who use to live in a appartement to accept this rules

Personal comments
I was in the international hall whose rules- without explanations- was very strict. Dorms doesn't responsabilised people. One positive point in united states is the easiness to have a job when you are a student.
