Personal comments
Students Union Bar on campus and Sub Zero club on campus for good value and a great night. Level Two for brilliant live bands nights. Take 3 do great sandwiches and coffee for when you're on the go and the Blues Bar with salad bar is great for meeting friends during the day. Mondo's do good pizza, and they deliver. Look out for themed nights and big name music acts in Sub Zero.

I´ve been studying english for 6 years or more, so I already speak it quite good, but coming to england helped me out to get a better understanding and a cool posh accent, plus I write a lot better in english, because of the practice in writing essays.
