Well, the study at my university was very very conducive and say great leaning environment. I've learnt a lot of things that will help me to engage myself in one way or the other.
Everything was better than expected. Support for every situation, great courses and lecturers, well planned and organised. Even if expensive compared to European schools, it is absolutely worth it!
I enjoyed the courses, and standard of lecturers. Did not enjoy the lack of community spirit.
