Personal comments
Not really. It is just diffenret from how things are done in Europe. Something are better and somethings are not. The exams are sometimes a little less challenging then what I am used to and they come more often.

Personal comments
Although I bought used textbooks at the University Co-op Bookstore, they were still VERY expensive. If short in money, I would recommend searching out other bookstores (amazon?) and using the libraries more. Oftentimes, several books in the syllabus are only used for one or two chapters.

Personal comments
It's very good, although a bit expensive. There are lots of apartment complexes with good facilities, e.g. swimming pools, laundry rooms, sports courts. Shuttle buses from/to compus run every 10 min. on normal schedule and they are pretty convenient.

Personal comments
For domestic students International students are a real threat as we increase the average grades that's why it's very difficult to get to know them better. I think the American grading system should be changed.
