The final evaluation should include the "show up" time of the students.You know, some people never show up in the classes.

The evaluation system is much more soft.That would not help much of the lazy students and it is unfair for the students who always take part in the classes.

ASB has a great vibe and energy to it. It was a lot smaller than my home institution, and had a very friendly atmosphere. The people at the international office organize social events (pub crawls) and day trips (Legoland) for the exchange students.

Personal comments

They have a comprehensive way of studying. It might be positive with respect to the volume and the fact that, in our professional life, we will usually have to review our books to find out the theory we were looking for. But, on the other side, I feel like I do not really learn something.

Personal recommendation

It might not be as systematic as my home university. I have heard friends complain about how administration things are so much easier to deal with back home. From another perspective, you can say that they are very flexible. In other words, begin more relaxed about rules tend to allow them to adapt to the needs of an exchange student better. If one wants to experience a small university town and make friends easily through parties every week, then this is definitely the place to come to...=)
