Academic
Course recommendations
Ask yourself what you want: If you take challenging courses in Finance considerable less time will be left for leisure; courses are demanding and challenging however, you learn a lot. If you rather experience the typical exchange program with an emphasis on social activities and aspects, avoid the Finance courses.
