The only negative aspect is enrolling for courses due to the fact that international/exchange students are low priority. Therefore make sure you talk to your advisor bach home before choosing the courses.

Personal comments
It is not to hard to communicate to other students/proffesors... but if your home language is spanish, you shouldn't talk a lot with latin people because they are a lot at this University and you will end up talking only in spanish and not improving your english.
