Personal comments
The beginning was not so easy even if I used to spaeak english quite a lot in my business school (with erasmus students, english and american teachers, but when I arrived in Leeds I was always with english people I di not know at all and they all spoke slang, that was really frustrating but I quickly felt more confident with it and most of these people has become good friends of mine, which makes me learn the language faster and faster.
At uni the courses were animated with power point presentations, which make things easier for us, international students

not really... I came in Leeds on my own, I did not know the city at all, I just looked at the pictures on Internet before leaving France!! and I liked the fact not to know what would happen then.

Get a job there even a 15 hours a week but it is a good way to meet people and to get some money to travel.. and try not to live with people from your country..
