Personal comments
As I have mentioned I have been studying in the Netherlands and the language I was using for my study was English. It is not a secret that in the Netherlands each person speaks fluently English and hardly a foriner starts speaking to them in bad Dutch they automatically start speaking English. In addition I was learning at that time German. German and Dutch have very many common words and in order not to mix the languages and Dutch habit to speak to foriners in English may be led to my poor knowledge of Dutch language.

Academic
Course recommendations
Let the students select their own teachers rather than assign them into classes. Sometimes I wanted to change the class becase other teachers read the lectures better than mine. But I was not allowed.

Personal comments
In some projects we received one grade per group. Sometimes I worked and made more afforts than others and I think because of absenteesm our group scored lower grade than me and other collegues deserved. Though we tried to object against that, our objections did not bring any improvments.

Personal recommendation
There are two programmes of Management at school, one is in English one is in German. A student cannot mix them,i.e. he/she must do whether in English or in German. I think it would be great to let students to learn both languages.
