Personal comments
clothes/ shoes very expensive relatively to other countries. saving-tip: don't try posh shopping areas unless you are rich. very nice things to buy, you just can't help it so stay away. also stay away from touristic areas during summer, could be a bit of a rip-off.

yeah! more communication with teachers. they tend to be very old and very highly educated so they are a bit too snobbish.

Personal comments
student housing facilities are a bit weird, they apply only on poor students and are therefore problematic. my arrangement was very very good instead.
