Academic
Course recommendations
Level of english courses are very low, nice if you dont want a challenging semester, but also boring. I also miss more courses in my area which is economics. The finance courses are pretty good, but are more work. Also the different levels are not consistent at all, many intermediate courses are much harder then the advanced courses.

Personal comments
Accomodation is ok, cleaning and laundry facilities are not good. Do not choose the single appartments near school, they are overpriced and gloomy.
