Personal comments
It was very hard for about first month -month and a half but then slowly was able to get into the language. The most essential factor was the ability to practice it with the fellow students. In the university itself, there hardly was any opportunity to use my language knowledge apart from the exams in the end of the semester.

Academic
My academic experiences
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with international students
Interaction with local students
Personal comments
Most of the courses are very theoretical, should introduce case studies. More interaction between teachers and students, moreover among students as well by organising group works + teachers being more involved in the course and work process by giving suggestions, recomendations or general evaluations.
