Personal comments
I lkied it very much, it was a bit expensive but worth it for one semester. I got to know so many new people by living like that and the atmosphere in the house was very friendly. The house consisted of flats that were shared by two people. It was very spaceful and no problems to have friends visiting.

Live in the International House since it is there everyone lives and all the parties are. Bring your own laptop. Be prepared that the housing costs are rather high. No internet acces at home. Food shops closed on Sundays!

Academic
Course recommendations
The courses were in general good, the workload were allright. The business project was very heavy and a lot to do, so if You are looking for an "easy" semester, it is better to chose courses instead.
