Personal comments
The good thing was being able to meet a lot of people from other foreign countries. In general most of the people you get on with is from outside the UK.
BEsides, a common process that takes place here (which I tried to avoid) is ghettoization. Spanish people flock together and go out with Spanish people, and the same for French, Greek, Swedish, and a long etc. The main cause of this is language... if a group of people is not proficient enough in English to be able to have conversations in all the registers with other people, they'll eventually get tired of their poor conversations and come back to the safety of their group.

Maybe the students should "shop around" more before the settle for a particular course. Maybe go to a few lectures before they finally decide.

The teachers should perhaps check whether the group assigments are being carried out by the entire group or only a few group members, which was often the problem in some of my groups

i think they should organize classes a little bit more through the week and not just 2 hours lecture and 2 hours tutorial each course.

I am leaving with other flatmates from Wales and other countries so I practice English everyday. Moreover, I have been working in a restaurant since the end of September as a waitress. So I have frequent contact with customers.
