Personal comments
Accomodation was generally satisfying, even though rooms were quite small. Kitchen facilities were excellent, flats were clean. It was fun living together with students from England and Dubai. However according to German standards flats were too expensive.

From my point of view, Uxbridge, a town you can reach with a bus from the campus, offers a wide variety of pubs, shops, sport facilities and a cinema. I go there at least twice every week and I enjoy it very much.
