Housing

Type of housing: shared flat

Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

The school didn't offer rooms on campus. The ones that were there were for underpreviliged students. Best chances to get a good sieze/cost value is to share flats, hoping not to be to late to get one in a flat already rented by students. Best ones are usually gone at the beginning/middle of September

Personal comments

The person in charge of the program sure was no help in finding an accommondation. It was very hard to get use to the appartment-market, but once understanding the rules and reducing my expectations it was possible to get a nice room if willing to pay the price

“Academic-based, could be more professional-focused”

Overall

It is a good school to learn and meet intelligent people. But if you are looking for a more professionalizing course, this is not the best option. Good for investigation and academic practice.

Pros

students collaborative environment, good techers

Cons

too academic

Course recommendations

Don't be shy!!! You can choose what ever you want! Don't let the woman in charge tell you it wouldn't be possible! In the moment you don't get along with a prof choose somethingelse. Otherwise you just waste your time! There is so much to learn and to take home! Even try a little of everything. Not all courses have to be completed to give you new impulses
