Personal comments
School had some trouble accomodating other students in need of housing. It turned out OK, but sure needs improvement, although it has nothing to do with the education, but with the housing administration.

Overall
I wish I had known...
Some of the paperwork that needed to be done was terribly organized by the school. The school is great but some parts of the administration had huge problems.

Final comments
Like I said before, it is a great school with some of the organisation that sucks. It is sometimes like government, very bureaucratic and some of the higher up in administration are very stuck up and distance themselves from the students. Many teachers are awesome and incredibly smart though and with huge deal if international experience to give to the students.
