Course recommendations
I chose four classes which was the regular workload of a British student. At the beginning I was bored because we usually had classes from 8 in the morning until late in the afternoon in Germany whereas I had lots of off days in England. I knew why when I saw the reading list. We had to spend a lot of tiem in the library and doing work at home. You absolutely need to do all the required reading otherwise you will fail the courses! Following in class was easy, the courses I had chosen were alright, some excellent, some ok.

Final comments
Try to have enough money to travel around Europe during the Christmas or Easter break. Its really worth it, as you can get cheap flights from London (with Ryanair for example)and you can stay with friends you met on campus. It's the cheapest and funniest way to travel. You can also use the HOST organisation for international students in UK. This organisation finds families for you to stay if you want to travel in different part of UK, including Ireland and Scotland.

Personal comments
Student housing is good if you manage to get it on the main campus, if you get away from the main campus (Kingswood) I would try to find a flat instead.

As I lived in London there is an endless list of things to do on any night. Weekend nightlife at the university is dead, in the week it is ok.
