Course recommendations
Coming from the US, the class set up was a little strange to get used to (everything is due at once at the end of the semester, and you don't spend as much time in class). The courses also were very integrated to mix different subjects into the course, which is great, but is different from the US way of having strict single subject content for most courses.

Personal comments
Don't slack off in the beginning because you have nothing to do until the last 6 weeks. I wish I would have kept up with my studies all along so that I wasn't so swamped at the end.
