you have to be conscious that coming from europe you may suffer of a sort of cultural shock at the beginning....once you get over it you'll fully enjoy the feeling of being part of a very special place....

I strongly recommend coming to study to UM . It is an unforgettable experience. Only one bad thing: be ready for the horrible reverse culture shock when you will be back to your country at the end of the semester!
