Universität St. Gallen (UNIVERSITY OF ST. GALLEN)

Zurich is nice

I requested to live with students, but I ended up living with a hothead, arrogant nincompoop (ie- he thought he was smart, and he rides around in a SMART company car), his gorilla girlfriend (I swear, she resembled a gorilla), and a cool guy from Italy. Had no problems with the guy from Italy, obviously, but everything else was miserable. Just a complete and utter conflict of personalities. The rent was too high, didn't get anything in return, and decided to move apartments for the second semester (I'm writing this assessment for my first semester only, as it was quite simply an unforgettable experience). Now obviously this doesn't happen all the time, and I must say that the university's apartment search service is quite good; I guess I just got unlucky.

Really good service

I can speak fluent German and Swiss German, but I've got to say, the dialect in St. Gallen is by far the most laughable dialect in all of Switzerland. They just all sound goofy. No problems with the language though, but I'd recommend being able to actually formulate decent German sentences if you want to go here .
