Personal comments
I did not face any problems at the university itself. However, in everyday life people from Bern speak a very difficult dialect (not understandable at all), so I had to ask them almost always to speak "Hochdeutsch".

It was diddicult to use german because there is a dialect in Bern and the people prefer to speak it. In the University it was almost the same problem but i did speak unfortuntly more english than german.

Final comments
Switzerland is a really nice country, there are a lot of places I would recommend to visit, cities such as Lucerne, Zurich, Geneve... It is the best place for winter sports. It is located in the center of Europe and there are quite good connections to other important cities in other countries, so travelling is almost obligatory.
