Personal comments

At first it was a little bit hard, because you dont understand so good the teacher, but it becoms better, so finally you dont have any problems to understand and to study. The first examns were hard, we had to revise the dictionary all the time, but then, you have practise, so things became easier.

my home university did not arrange my accommodation at Sheffield Hallam. The first days, weeks were therefore hectic but there the accomodation service helped out great

At the university's accomodation office you can get a list of free rooms/houses but you have to organise the search by yourself. It took a couple of days to find a room, during this time I stayed in a hall of residence.
