Don't just travel to the tourist spots. Go to the little towns and pubs. They are great and so are the people.

Overall

Fue una buena experiencia a estudiar en el extranjero porque lo que te ayudará a aprender y adaptarse en un ambiente nuevo y aprender y comprender nuevas culturas cuando está estudiando con los alumnos provienen desde otros países. Es una travesía vital que deberíamos hacer. Los profesores eran buenos y competentes de ofrecer asistencia en mi estudios.

Pros

Me gusta el ambiente en el universitario. Lo tiene todo!

Cons

Me hace cuesta arriba para buscar parquing dentro de la zona de universidad

Final comments

Be prepared to work hard if you want to excel in your course, specially if your mother language is not English. I suceeded (I got a Diploma with distinction), because I took my studies very seriouly and did a hard work.
