Overall
I wish I had known...
i wish i had known that it's so expensive. Also, i wish i had known that you don't need to study so hard for the first term, you can easily catch up before the final examinations...

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Very strongly. You get a Master's Degree in one year from a great University. What more can you ask for. On the other hand, you're not going to learn that much from professors. You are really on your own in acquiring more knowledge.
