In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
It is a very good university the programmes are very serious and the prepration pretty good. The thing westeners would not like is the lack of freedom and of creativity. This university is good to learn the language, but it is necessary to have a life outside campus in order to get to know the environment and local people better.
