Personal comments
At first I stayed in Murano Street Village...fine for meeting other foreign students but location could have been more ideal. It was a bit far from school, clubs, city center, etc. Then I found a great student apartment in Hill Head (arranged by the university that was great)

Personal comments
Most of the 1st and 2nd year courses I took had a midterm or a paper and a final as basis for grades. I wasn't used to the system as first, but definitely liked the flexibility of it.
