The location of my apartment. It really pays off to check a map before you go and measure how many miles you are from campus. It may look like just a small amount, because American city blocks are quite large.

I really enjoyed my stay. Academically, it wasn't so good for me, since I wasn't allowed to take any classes in my major (business). There is not really much advice to give here, most of the student life takes part on campus (which is really nice by the way) during the day and at the bars or house parties at night, which are mostly on campus or very close.

The university offers a lot of opportunities but it is you who has to grasp them. You wiill have a perfect time when you have a positive open-minded attitude.

Its a great school if you are going just for academic reason. Overall, it is quite an experience for me but I was not tempted to extend my stay after my exchange was completed. If you want to experience a typical American university campus life, this is a place to go.

Make sure you get your driver license before you go, if not you are pretty much stuck to the campus.
