OverallI loved studding here. All the teachers are well prepared.. some more than others. I was also working while studding if you do that, finishing the master's in 1 year is not possible.
My dissertation professors were very helpful and accommodation to my schedule and I got to finish my thesis exactly in the field i wanted
The cons would be that the campus is not very big and we could have some more activities for international students.

Personal comments
Rooms are fully equiped (bathroom with shower and WC). However, railroad right next to the building takes care of enough of the noise. Kitchens are ideal meeting places of various cultures, that's ok, but microwave owen should be standard equipment (which isn't). Location regarding campus is convenient. Main drawback is price.
