The housing was really good. It was clean, located in a nice quiet area, within a walking distance to the centre and the university main campus.

Final comments
If you go by plane, look out for special offers by buzz.air or ryanair-they usually go to london stansted. Make sure you get a young person's railcard if you intend to travel a lot, it makes it much cheaper!
On your first days at uni, normally a so-called "Fresher's fayre" will take place which provides you with helpful information and a lot of goodies as well...collect all the flyers you find as nightlife is huge in Britain, and it gives you the possibility to meet a lot of interesting people. Concerning the academic part, i would recommend consulting the internet for information and content of the courses offered and their compitability to your studies at your home university.

Personal comments
At the 1st semester, we were a bunch of French people (all living in the same corridor)- which didn't really help in practising English!
We were on the Telford campus and the accom there was pretty new.

Personal comments
I have been studying English before I came to England. Therefore it was no problem at all to follow the lectures. I only had some difficulties in the beginning to cope with the slang of the man on the street. Furthermore I took part in an Enlish Module (English advanced 2).

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
The student accomodation in the UK is really expensive compared to France- also you can't get "allocation" like in France (APL, ALS);
The food on the campus was pricy (for what it was) , probably becuse it's not subsidised. So it is better to buy your own and cook it...

Personal comments
the courses were held in English. I must say that the accent spoken in the West Midlands is quite hard for people who start learning the language because the people speak a heavy dialect. So in social life it was sometimes hard to understand them right away
