I wish I had known...
I had already been in the French-speaking part of Switzerland (Geneva, Lausanne) and thought it would be the same in Zurich. But it is not, the "Roestigraben" between the french-speaking part and the german-speaking part of Switzerland is not an invention of guide books.
I did not believe that Swiss people were so proud of themselves and had so many "clichés" about other European countries (not France especially).

Personal recommendation
ETH Zurich is a good choice if you want to meet students from all over the world and if you do not want to go too far away from France (less than 100 kms from French border, easy to go back to France if needed).
The academic level of the institution is very high (especially, Computer Science, Maths, Chemistry), equivalent of some of the best american universities in some areas of study.

Travel tips :
- better to be Ok with German before you go (quicker integration)
-Switzerland is at the center of Europe, a lot of travel opportunities (go to Lucerne, skiing in Winter week-ends, Oktoberfest in Munich and Bavaria, Italian coast is not so far (Venice)).

“2 months in Zurich”

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

The courses I am taking in the Master's HEST program cover some very interesting and applicable materials, especially for students interested in the current state of art in healthcare technology. I really enjoy the teaching style at ETH as well.

Very good program for masters, you have a choice of a ton of selective courses, so you must do a bit of research and it is very much a la carte. All the courses that i took were very interesting and challenging.
