Overall
I wish I had known...
The fact that the business studies campus is not in Wolverhampton, but in Telford which is about 30 mn by bus- There are free coaches, though, but at the beginning some of them tended to be overcrowded. But you can always to chose your options on the Wolverhampton campus for the 2nd semester, and change accomodation ( I stayed with a lovely family)

Final comments
This was a wondervful experience. If you can go, don't hesitate. I met so many people from different countries.
Odly, not many english students- You will probably feel it is easier to make friends with foreigners, as English students seem a bit detached-

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
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.
