Personal comments
I didn't like some teachers who, didn't have any consideration of the particular situation of a foreign language speaker exchange student. Besides, I believe some teachers should base their teaching more on direct dialogue with the students than among students themselves, especially in case of a topic the students hear for first time.

Personal comments
Sharing everyday life with several other international and non students as well as living the campus social life is a very constructive and interesting experience. Besides, the way how this kind of accomodation is run is, in my opinion, quite valid and professional.
