If you can avoid it don't fly in to Gatwick to and the have to take the coach (bus) to Hull. It takes up to 5 hours by train and 8 hours buy bus and asfter an international flight you are exhausted. If you fly into Manchester or Humberside airports International office can arrange to meet you or phelp with transportation (with advance notice).

Personal recommendation
The faculty are nice and very helpful. Although I advise keeping recieps for every payment you make to the Finance office for Accomadation or tuition fees, or any thing elsw for that matter as they tend to credit the wrong portion of your account. Try to avoid paying them in cash so that you have a record of the transaction. use a credit card ,cheque or a standing order from your bank instead.

Note that almost everything at the university closes for lunch. Especially administrative offices, Due any adminstrative errands between (:30 and 12 Noon and about 2:00- 4:00. If its a Friday get ther before 3:30
The shops in town often close between 4:00 and 5:30.

Be prepared for a lack of organisation, particularly during registration. It can be frustrating at times, particularly if you come from a big university and are used to things being processed quickly.

I would reccommend it more for it's location than the actual university, but beware of the lack of organisation.

Take advantage of the InterRail passes while you are living in Europe. You can't get them outside of Europe and they are great for seeing a lot of places all at once.

Go to all of your lectures, work what you have to work, do the task you have to do.
Do not hesitate to ask for some help to people working at the university because they are very kind.
Enjoy this host university, and have fun!

To travel cheaper, you need a young rail card. And for short distances, it's better to travel by bus. There is the nationalexpress bus which much more cheaper, if you have got time.

It would have been helpful to know a little more upon arrival about the academic system here in the UK. It's a lot different from the American system and you're completely on your own to find out what's going on...it's easy to be completely clueless as to what you're meant to be doing.

Although it's not the most beautiful city in England (and a bit rough in parts), there are plenty of things in Hull (clubs, societies, nightlife, etc.) to make studying here a worthwhile experience. Unless you join activities or live with British students, it is hard to meet local students and many will find that they meet more international students than anyone else. The key is joining the uni social clubs and societies to really get to know British students.
