“2 months in Zurich”

Proneet D

Switzerland, Graduate
Environmental Sciences, 2021

Overall

ETH Zurich is a fantastic university all-round. The faculty is very approachable and world-class in terms of knowledge and connectivity. Lectures and courses are carefully organized and up to date with current literature. There is emphasis on extra-curricular activities as well because ASVZ facilities are open to all ETH Zurich students.

Pros

Faculty, peers, funding, ASVZ, campus

Cons

Many events happening and sometimes there is no way of keep track of them and so you miss out on some potentially exciting guest lectures of workshops which might have been helpful for you

Zurich is situated practically in the middle of Europe so one should exploit this fact and make various trips to the neighboring countries and farther.

MY POINT IS ETH ZURICH TAKES REALLY INTO CONSIDERATION THE LANGUAGE TOPIC. IN THE BEGGINNING OF BOTH SEMESTER THEY GIVE FREE GERMAN COURSES (3 INTENSIVE WEEKS)TO THE EXCHANGE STUDENTS WHO DESIRE TO TAKE THEM.
