Personal comments
Before living in UK, i didn't speak english very often.
I have studied a lot in preparatory classes but not in real situation.
During one year, i have lived and sharing moments with foreign students.
I was speaking all day in english.
I was living on the campus so it was really convenient to meet people and go to the library stuying.
I have worked hard to have my exams.it was a lot of work to realize essays because it was necessary to make research and put an important bibliography.
I will say it was a very good way to improve my language skills!

I think that De Monfort University is not a university where many foreign student go to, which makes the social integration a little difficult for those who do not have a very level of english at first.

Furthermore, if you want to do student jobs it is really necessary to be payed...
