Language was not a problem for me as I went to an ENglish speaking country. They were great communicators, both in the university and as a nation. Very helpful and friendly.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I lived in the Quays. It is too far from campus, especially when it gets cold and it is also very expensive. I do not recommend anyone should live there.

Personal comments
If you are a first year student, it is best to live in the Towers where all the parties are. You may think that this will not help you learn much, and you are correct. However, nobody really learns much at the University anyway.
