Academic
Course recommendations
Due to the fact that just courses for incoming students are in English, you hardly get involved with local students.

Personal comments
The university is well organized. Following the courses is not compulsory, so you can easily get off one day. The teachers are mostly professionals, which gives you the security that what you here is relevant. However, a minus point is that the courses are in English but the teachers are not native speakers!!
