Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Though the experience of living with a family in a foreign country for the first year was more than positive, I always prefer to be close to the student area. It makes you feel more integrated with your condition as student. But , as I said, I would´nt mind go back to a family house

Personal comments
In Spain we give more importance to the lectures as a way to find the material for the course, in England is more and introduction to it. Maybe they should give more importance to the work in class, but again it was all new and interesting

At the very begining the diference in the prices where a constant suprise, living with a very small income was hard but the best tip it´s knowing your limitations and you would´n have any of those "surprises"
