Personal comments
My room was really small and not very friendly. Fortunately I had my own bathroom and I only had to share the kitchen with my 5 neighbours. But consequently the kitchen became a place of social meetings.

Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I would like to suggest to organize more spare time activities for the students. I stayed at a campus outside the city and we organize everything on our own. Furthermore they could think about offering some more student trips.

Final comments
Everybody of the academic staff as well as the staff who was responsible for the accomodation was really friendly. It was a great experience for me because I met real friends. Travelling to Germany was pretty hard because there are no suitable flights from Birmingham Airport which is only 1/2 h away. So I had to go from London and that was an altogether 20 h journey for me.

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).
