Personal comments
I have been speaking english for most of my life so I had no problems understanding others in most cases. The only case that does not apply is when the person speaking to me was from the lower class, in which case they had a very thick accent which made it difficult for me to understand, but there where very few of these cases.

History, 2019
OverallMy course was engaging and well run. The modular system allowed me to study several different periods of Medieval History throughout the world. Furthermore, the additional two subjects for the first two years allowed me the opportunity to develop my language skills.

People have this strange scottish accent...you don not find it when you study English in Spain. But I had no problems (I took it easy).

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because they're much more controlled and you don't have to fear about landlords who are trying to screw you.

Personal comments
I would actually advice, even though sometimes it's very difficult, to go to the place and take a look there, without booking from your home country. Especially in Great Britain!! My house was extremely cold and in very bad conditions, but i could only do so and go there because the campuses accomodations usually accept you if you remain an entire year.
