Course recommendations
at least in my case there wasn´t any guiding or assistance in the beginning, so I had to find it out all by myself. They could provide a bit more information to help the exchange students to get started

Take care of not trying to do too much : it's harder for foreign students ; choose fields you already know a bit.

Go to classes. Do things on time. Don't go out too much (6 nights/week is quite enough ... don't have to go out the 7 days)
