I wish I had known...
Some more information from the school about the preparation work that I would need, in other words more information about what the school was NOT going to help us with. Having comenfrom a very good university in the USA I assumed conditions would be more or les the same her in my host school.

Personal recommendation
To expand my selection above: This school is not the BEST option available, but because of my economic resources it was one of my options and in the end my selection. The program is still young and they are trying to build from practicaly zero. I must sya the program is OK, but if you have another choice go there first. I hope my comments do not hurt my chances, but I believe I must be honest in answering your questions.

Final comments
Learn German before coming to Germany. Take the chance to know other countries in Europe, travelling from Germany is very practical. Bring lots of goodies from home, you will miss them.

I had no problems with the courses and communicating with my fellow clasmates. Had some problems at beginning interacting in social situations but it has gotten better, and there is much to improve in such an important aspect.
