Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

I will write a list of good and bad things. Good things: I like the student life out there! When I go out of the class there are plenty of people of my age and older, you can make very good connections and friends, and that is a great advantage, as you can engage in social life while studying. The exchange and internship opportunities are wonderful, you can do internships...
