In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
The only recommendation I have is that the univeristy should to more activities/events to allow students to interact together more.
Also the lectures shouldnt be as long as 3 hours because students tended to get distracted after a couple of hours.

Final comments
It was the best experience of my life. I travelled, learned about the culture and met some really nice people.
The only advice I have is to go there with an open mind, because it will make your experince there more enjoyable and you will be open to learning things as you go along.
Also to help you find your way around take a lonely plant guide, it will help you get around alot.

Academic
Course recommendations
The lectures used to be 3 hours long, I think they should split that in to 2 1 and a half hour lessons, as it can get really tiring.

Personal comments
The university did not own much housing, although they did recommend housing to us. In a way I thought that wasnt such a great thing because I would have liked to live in a building full of all students.
