There were many students from various countries, and I was able to learn not only English but also the languages and cultures of other countries. I had many opportunities for group discussions, which gave me many chances to not only express my own thoughts, but also to listen to the thoughts and opinions of students from other countries in English.
Disliked
Although the places to sit were not fixed, I felt that the groups were somehow settled. It would have been nicer if participants were forced to change seats to create an environment where it was easier to talk with different members of the class.
Insider tip: Make lots of friends.

It all depends on your study habits, but I can tell you that everyone can do it.
