Housing
Type of housing: Found University residence after 2months in a flat
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because it gave me the chance to meet many other students and to practice the language with them, It's also a cheap option to live in the city center, normaly near the faculties and the resources are good.

Personal comments
They didn't organice the housing for you which is pretty useful when you are a foreign student searching for a room from your country. But in the city there are a couple of good university residences as well as many students sharing flats.

Personal comments
I experienced difficulties in the situations descrived above at the begining as I could speak just a bit of german. But I managed to learn the language pretty good and after some months I had no problem. The dialect in the german switzerland is really hard to understand but fortunatelly the academic language is the normal german and every german swiss can speak "high german" without any problem.

Not really. The ups and downs were there to help me grow, so I prefer to look at surprises as quite beneficial.

I was so busy committing to my studies I did not have the chance to enroll in German courses. I know I wouldn't have acquire much in three months, though, so I was satisfied with getting used to hearing the language and the local dialect about me. It will certainly help me absorb the language easier if I decide to seriously take up the language some day.

Overall
Ich habe an der Uni Basel Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Kulturanthropologie studiert.
Im Fach Wirtschaftswissenschaften sind solche namhafte Dozenten, wie z.B. Prof. Dr. Manfred Bruhn beschäftigt, im Fach Kulturanthropologie wie Prof. Dr. Walter Leimgruber.
Kann ich nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.
