Course recommendations

You can change courses a month after the start of the semester, so find out yourself. Some of them were excellent, some of them quite poor. It depends.

Personal comments

the 24-7 access to the building makes sure that it is not needed to have an connection at home. Traveling with the train is cheap. No text books are needed, all it provided in powerpoint or in hand-outs (saves a lot of money)
