Course recommendations
The first week is syllabus week - the teachers are mostly discussing the syllabus and are done after 10 minutes, so you have enough time to go to as many classes as possible! I really recommend to talk to the professors, because many classes sound nice after reading the description, but are more or less boring.

Personal spending habits
I love travelling so I had to see nearly everything. I traveled a lot. Additionally shopping in outlets is cheap, but if you buy a lot then it becomes expensive (I recommend the outlet in Aurora!)
