There were no real problems. It took me a very short while to get used to the American accent and it took my fellow students also some time to get used to my accent.

I was not able to get the courses I wanted as they either clashed or were full. So it is a good idea to check your aoptions well in advance.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Personal comments
There are a lot of choices however it is difficult to find an accomodation if ou join the term half way through. Luckily I managed to find an aparment off campus but still a part of University. The people at the accomodation office tried to help me as much as possible but I was unable to get anywhere until I actually started my classes.
