Quality of teaching in comparison with home school:
nižšia, ale záleží od kurzov, niektorí vyučujúci sú expertmi na danú problematiku a dali si záležať na prednáškach a spôsobe hodnotenia, niektoré kurzy boli jednoduché a prístup učiteľov vágny

How and how far ahead should accommodation be organised?:
napísať koordinátorke, písala som už pred letom
z kolejí veľká vzdialenosť na univerzitu, kvôli zápcham niekedy aj hodinu, preto lepšie vybaviť si bývanie na byte bližšie k centru
