University of East London (UEL)

On the Campus I lived mainly with overseas students so the communication was based just on English. Unfortunatly, there were a hand full German students. It led to conversations in German. Not the best way to learn English :-( By-and-by the groups gain more diversity than just consisting of members from the same country. It was certainly favourable in terms of improving mutual our language skills. During the lactures overseas student obtain the possibility to integrate in the university life by intoducing themself. It facilitated the further communication with home students. They were very curious concerning our home countries and experiences.

During the first and third year I lived on campus-based accommodation, with the exception that during the third year I did not live in the halls, but in four bedroom flat just outside the campus owned by the university. Campus accommodation was good. I had expected it to be worse, although the location was not the best one.

The university is impressive in terms of the ethical diversity. It was very helpful to become familiar with many other cultures. If you plan toattend more than four courses you will be "bombed" with coursework.

Be aware of the MSc. Psychology...not worth it! The residential office in Docklands are always looking to steal your deposit!!!
