I wish I had known...
I had already been in the French-speaking part of Switzerland (Geneva, Lausanne) and thought it would be the same in Zurich. But it is not, the "Roestigraben" between the french-speaking part and the german-speaking part of Switzerland is not an invention of guide books. I did not believe that Swiss people were so proud of themselves and had so many "clichés" about other European countries (not France especially).
In my opinion:
Most people loved it.



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
ETH Zurich is a good choice if you want to meet students from all over the world and if you do not want to go too far away from France (less than 100 kms from French border, easy to go back to France if needed). The academic level of the institution is very high (especially, Computer Science, Maths, Chemistry), equivalent of some of the best american universities in some areas of study.



FINAL COMMENTS

Travel tips : - better to be Ok with German before you go (quicker integration) -Switzerland is at the center of Europe, a lot of travel opportunities (go to Lucerne, skiing in Winter week-ends, Oktoberfest in Munich and Bavaria, Italian coast is not so far (Venice)).

I wish I had known...
I wish that I knew that ETH imposes extra courses and regulation to International students. International Students have to take more courses and exam than the local students. And that some of the compulsory course were in German.
In my opinion:
Stay home.

Personal recommendation:
ETH is struggling to become an international institution. Local students are considered better than international students. ETH has outrageous rules that only apply if your international student. So if you have not been accepted by other University ETH is good but if you have the choice, chose somewhere else. Maybe in 5 ou 10 years, the manage to become an International Institution



FINAL COMMENTS

Switzerland is not as expensive as it is perceived, Although, local students have priority over cheap accommmodation, one can find part-time jobs at ETH to cove hos expenses.
