Course recommendations
don't settle with what the teachers say. go course "shoping" and choose acording to what your home university requires. add some more that you enjoy, even if they don't belong in your official degree.

Personal comments
everyone spoke english, but not at ease. I could easily comunicate, but not improve my english. I tried to learn flemmish, but had to quit the classes because of my final project. I understand a little but speak almost nothing of flemmish/dutch.
