Be aware that the schedule of courses is not set until courses began. It is important to have flexability in your schedule becaues it will likely be changed several times. Choose several possibilities for courses, as one may easily be canceled after you arrive.

Personal comments
I felt that the quality of the business courses were somewhat lower than at home. However, it was nice to have a lighter class load when trying to balance academics with travel and other social activities. I think the balance is ideal, however if one needs good working knowledge in their area of study, classes should have been a bit more rigorous.

The coursework was too heavy. I ended up getting the flu due to the overload of work/studying expected.

The library was terrible, a joke really. Academics were not taken seriously, at least by the study abroad students and professors (AS I understand it there are different standards for study abroad vs. degree seeking students). That was all well and good, it left flexibility for travel and fun, but it really sunk below acceptable when I wasn't asked to submit a bibliography for a paper.
