University of Strathclyde

No

Go always to the tutorials!!!

Life is just more expensive in the UK. I mostly ate in the University canteen, which cost a lot more than at Hanover, plus there was mainly fast food available. Apart from that, I bought a lot of sandwiches, etc. which I could have prepared at home myself - just too lazy. Accomodation costed ca. 450 € a month - because I stay with my parents in Germany, this was a new expense for me. The only thing on which I saved was the telephone bill. I mostly communicated over Email with my friends and family and could use the University computers for that.

You meet tons of people. A diverse crowd from all over the world. Everybody's friendly and open to everything. Great experience. Off campus can be cheaper with more space but trade offs are isolation from the rest of the students and you can be far away from campus. Don't miss anything. Live on campus!

Nothing

Get involved at least in one activity setted for students... Could be sports activities or cultural activities and so forth.

How to be allowed to work in the UK (visa conditions...)

Keep it that way!

I think that living on Campus is great for Erasmus students because it is easier way to meet people and to be aware of the events in the university. But if I were to go back to work I would prefer to live in a quieter place.
