Personal comments
Dorms provide to the MBA students are not as good as I thought, but the rent is not bad. If you are a person who need more private room, you may need to live in an apartment or house. There are several good apartments near by the university.

Final comments
This school is good, but its work flow is really heavy for international students. If you are planning to apply or already accepted by this school, you may want to visit the classes to make sure whether this is what you want or whether you can get used to it.

Course recommendations
Courses here are really intergrated, and the class size is so small that everyone needs to be well prepared for the courses and everyone has chances to speak out.
