My first challenge was to manage the difficulty with transport due to the industrial actions between Stansted and Cambridge on the day of my arrival.
I was heartily welcomed at Bell School next day. Lessons and teachers met all my expectations to the utmost. Teachers were competent, helpful and very friendly. I was impressed by the modern facilities at Bell School.
At the first week there were 14 students in the group, the following week 9 what was a big difference and I felt much better.
The City-centre-tour on the very first day was really useful and also other activities I enjoyed highly.
With my host family I wasn't lucky as I had hoped. My room was well equipped and nice, but we never had any meal together
and unfortunately the landlady wasn't really interested in talking with me. TV was always running so there were very few opportunities to hold a conversation.

These homes are often between 5 - 25 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine.
