Personal comments
Interaction mainly with international students and therefore English was the dominant language. I Was a bit disappointed in the lack of possibilities to learn the local language but that was more than compensated by other factors.

Final comments
A LOT of work in the SECOND part of the semester, hardly any work at first part. If you want to travel, do so in the first half. If you want to take additional courses (i.e. more than what is required - some courses are REALLY good, e.g. international wheeling and dealing), ask that these additional courses are in the first part of the semester (you will thank me for that!).
