Personal comments
Dorms provide to the MBA students are not as good as I thought, but the rent is not bad. If you are a person who need more private room, you may need to live in an apartment or house. There are several good apartments near by the university.

Academic
Course recommendations
Courses here are really intergrated, and the class size is so small that everyone needs to be well prepared for the courses and everyone has chances to speak out.

The work flow is kind of too heavy for international students, and school may think about it.

Personal comments
I recommend Sygma Phi Epsylon parties! Sygma Mu & Sygma Nu are also great.
Don't miss the pledge parties ;)
Off campus, Brew Ha Ha's and Burke Street pubs are fun.
Remember that if you make good friends you will have fun anywhere anyway!

For the food it is becauseI like fresh food (fruits and vegetables) and dairies and those are more expensive here. For the travel, it is because I took the opportunity to visit a little bit of the country.

Personal comments
I had a good TOEFL score to be able to go study in the US. However my vocabulary and accent were not that great. During the first semester, i mostly strenghtened my reading and comprehension skills. During the last one my accent and wording drastically improved, specially because of the interaction with other students outside classes.
