Stay home.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
It's suitable for business students but not for language or humanity students. Mature students could feel quite uncomfortable.
Nearly everybody I've talked to was glad to leave Luton!

Final comments
THe best about Luton is the direct proximity to London.
If you have a laptop bring it with you because the IT-suite is always crowded.
The university has a quite bad library.
Use your student card everywhere you can for discount (ask for it, that saves money).

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
If I was to stay for more that 6 months I would chose an apartment which is cheaper and has more space. But if I was to live again in Luton for 6 months then definately I would chose on campus where you can always meet new people and have fun.

Personal comments
The cost was outrageous for the facilities offered. The room's space for 1 person was ok. The cleaners didn't do a good job each time so sometimes we had to clean better ourselves. If you don't like overnight parties and excessive noise then don't go to Bute Court.

Luton is a very dirty city. Moreover there's not much you can do besides shopping and going into pubs.

If you meet the right people, it's fun. Otherwise it can be the most horrible time of the life. There's nothing beautiful about the city.

The good thing about Luton is that it's not far away from London. And the nightlife (pubs and bars) are great.

You have to make your own opportunity come through. The University is making significant improvements and the officials are extremely cooperative here.

Personal comments
I found that people looked at me funny whenever I spoke due to my American accent. Some English accents are harder to understand; many of the students whom English was a second language for informed me that my American accent was easier to understand versus the local accent. There was much variation in slang as well.
