Personal comments
Some classes stay at a pretty basic level although they are already on a high level - for students which graduate within one year. Going a little bit into more detail wouldn't be bad sometimes.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
in a new country/city, while you are absolutely new to people and culture, university campus is the safest place that ever come to my mind

Personal comments
pretty nice, they have several residences, which are quite different. The one that is solely for undergrads - such a mess! :) no possibility to study whatsoever, but funny.
