Overall
I wish I had known...
Nothing, I didn't have any bad surprise.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
The only thing I didn't like so much is the way to make exams... because it isn't practical at all. But the university is great and the people too. So you just can have the satisfaction of your stay.

My advise is to stay at home only if you have to study, or for work because there is so many things to discover. So don't waste your time and enjoy!
