Overall
I wish I had known...
In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I have been to only this university so hard to say because if one compares more universities, only then right answer can be find as it depends on persons's choice of study field, funds, expectation from host country. If one looks for job, i will say its hard to find one as initially promised by university as no placements are done on Campus for Master students.

Final comments
Its always good to contact students already enrolled in same studies one want to undertake. It gives good idea as to what it really is in form of work load, part-time job and so on as i was in touch with my seniors that really helped to feel at home in new place.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: independently
Why?
It avoids any conflicts if one is not aware of host country culture but if its only matter of sharing and not interfering into each other lives, even sharing is good option

Personal comments
The cost was too high and there were facilities that were not upto the cost paid. But it was good experience to feel at home with people from different culture and getting the feelings of a big world family.
