Eve, if Stoke is a little city, the good point is that Manchester and Birmingham are not far and you can travel around in order to see something different. But you need money for that..

Personal comments
At the beginning, I found it pretty hard to understand the courses and I had difficulties during the lectures. For my social life it was pretty OK. I was living with some english and at the begining, they were talking slowly in order to make me understand. With time, everything was Ok and I really improved my english.

Be prepared to fit in. Try to work hard as well. Your stay might be short, but still take the most of the local resources to start com;pleting your assignments and dissetation. Otherwise, be prepared finacially. Good way to get to know the area working through the uni temp agency

If yuo drive. Just bring your car> the city is quite dead. you need a car to go shopping in asda for Food. The City center is 30mn by feet,and transport could be expensive. Otherwise try to share in between friends whenver you go food shopping the oil expenses.
