University of Nottingham

It was hard at the beginning. I thought that my level of English is quite good when I studied at my home University. However, when I went to the UK I realised that there is still a lot of work to do. Firstly, you have to get used to the local accent. Secondly, speaking English every day puts pressure to broaden your vocabulary. (I guess, I learnt about 2000 new words in the first 12 weeks, but it calms down after few weeks.)

I think that for a foreign student is better opening a bank account over there: there are special account for students and they are very simple to manage. By the way I woyuld suggest to finf a part time job!

It was an excellent opportunity to learn how to manage in many situatons using a different language than own language.

It aws ok, but it could be better regarding space and cost
