Overall
I wish I had known...
In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
don't go there if you just want to have fun cause it is really serious. there is no facilities for exchange people you are like another swiss student. the best area of studying in Fribourg is law and theological studies (in theology Fribourg is one of the best in the world probably the best.)
