It is a good idea to register for more courses than needed because at the beginning it is possible to go to all courses and then after the first week make your choice. There are a lot of exams during the semester so it is helpful to read the chapters in the books before class or at least after each class.

Comentario personal
In communicating with Americans you learn a lot of expressions you would not learn in class. It is helpful to know some phrases. In class you learn a lot of technical terms which will help you in your future job. The Americans also tell you when you make any mistakes in pronunciation and so on.

Si lo hubiera sabido...
You can register for more courses than you need.
You can sometimes attend graduate courses even if your exchange progamme only contents undergraduate courses - just try.

You can get cheap and nice things for your room (blankets, lamps, posters, carpets,...) at Meijer's - about 10 minutes away from campus by bus (from Grand River Avenue). Discover the campus, it is huge (like a village) and it has a lot of nice things to visit. Go to at least one Football game - it's a special experience. There are also interesting Basketball or Hockey games. You can find a lot of sports facilities - if you plan to go to the gym regularly buy a gym pass for $ 60,-- and you can go there whenever you want.
Visit Chicago (about 6 hours away by bus - you can also go there by train), it's a very beautiful city, Detroit is also near by. Toronto is a very nice city (you need a signature from OISS to be able to go there - kind of visa). If you want to visit New York you should go by plane. There are always special offers for students (STATRAVEL agency on Grand River - close to the Union). Discover Michigan: Upper Peninsula, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mackinac Island, Mackinaw City,... IT IS GREAT!!!

Costumbres personales de gasto
Food was included in the housing contract so I did not have to buy the extra things. I called my boyfriend and my family almost everyday, that's why I spent more in this category. Concerning the housing I spent more because I have to pay less rent for my apartment at home. The travel expenses were higher because I travelled around a lot, e.g. Chicago or New York.

Comentario personal
There is a student book store on Grand River Avenue with used books. They are a lot cheaper than new books but you have to go there as soon as you know your courses otherwise they are already sold out. If you switch a course you have some time to return the books you don't need and you get the money back.

Clubs or bars on Grand River Avenue. There are plenty of good locations. Every Thursday evening: Sparty's - people who are under age are also allowed to get in there on that day.
Spartan Spirit for new students at the beginning of the semester in the Spartan stadium. Planetarium and museum on campus. Welcome dinner for international students - Kellogg Center.
