* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
the worst experience of my life I really felt in another world as a foreigner student. I expected another life but even the professors were a problem. During the workgroup I was the only student from abroad and they did not care about helping me. they have different method of studying and no one from the university has advised me about it. Discrimination and laugh at you happens regularly. DO NOT EVER CONSIDER TO STUDY THERE IF YOU ARE INTERNATIONAL. also the way of judging and studying is completely different from the rest of the world, you only discuss a huge amount of literature and even if you study all of them during the examination you are asked to provide an open answer ( always) so the person who is reviewing your exam can decide freely your grade without any range of value to consider. Please guys I advice Do no make my same mistake. |

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
