Not all teachers are prepared to work with internationals. Just a few are pleased about the fact that there are some internationals, others are the opposite of pleased about that fact...;-)

Course recommendations:
Its easy to pick and choose, but my department was not comparable to the academic standards of my home university. However, I suspected that before going and was not hugely disappointed--the social capital you will get is worth it. My biggest pet peeve was the library--very difficult to borrow books, you have to stand in line for a long time (hours, sometimes) to check something out, and you cannot even take it home.
