Course recommendations

Interaction with local students
Personal comments
the choice of courses more in concert with the students, its time spilling work when you have to follow the same courses twice a year instead of taking advantage of following courses dealing the speciallity of the host university. (in my case more about composites!)

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Though the facilities were not as good as in Belgium, costs were very low and the location on campus was good for my study-results. Everything necessary for surviving was on walking-distance.
