The mother tongue is not French overhere!!!!!!! And because I can't speak French, nor English it was difficult to learn Dutch. Also French was difficult to learn. PS, a friend helped me to fill in this form.

Course recommendations
it is very difficult to take a course that is not taught in English because their are no lectures, which means that days are not structured and it is hard to grasp the course. also, there is practically no teacher/other student contact, which i think is an important aspect of student life that you miss out on.

Personal comments
greater liaison is needed btween departmental staff and prospective students, so that a clear idea of what is going to be studied is established before you arrive. also, i do not think that the libraries are very efficient, as it is sometimes very difficult to locate the books you need, which can be quite stressful at times. the best advice is to be very organised all the time!
