Everything is o.k except the chair in study/bedroom is not good to use to study or work. And the price is to be honest, quite expensive

I think living with students from other countries as well as the host country made the experience unbeliavable.

Personal comments
I loved the accomidations that Edge Hill provided for us. American students lived in a dorm with first years from many different countries. This living arrangements made the experience an experience all of its own and helped me to learn about other cultures as well as my own.

Overall
The life on campus is really something special that I was happy to live, the services are always here for you in any kind of situation. Also, people are amazingly nice in that part of England.

Covid-19 brought a lot of frustration as online teaching takes out most of the experience of studying abroad

Languages
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
This is for sure the main benefit of studying abroad. I am not sure one year is enough to become perfectly billingual (especially with slang) though it is obvious that linguistic improvements are huge. The more you stay with people who do not speak your native language, the more you improve your language and communications skills. This is even truer if your friends are local people.
