Final comments
Get all the info you think you'll need before you go, but don't worry - organisation there is brilliant. Make the effort to talk almost exclusively in local language. Will never have a similar opportunity as well. That said, make sure that you mingle with EVERYONE. You are guaranteed to make friends with people from all continents, if you are open and friendly and make the effort.

Academic
Course recommendations
Unless you want to concentrate specifically on a field, out of choice or because you have to, try something different. It's the best chance you'll have, but make sure that the courses you do decide to take improve your knowledge of your host country's language. That is the most important thing.

Personal comments
Nothing springs to mind, other than the recommendation to do the exams - this will ensure that you do do something productive and don't regret having wasted your time when you go home.
