I would recommend not to take any valuable or leather based shoes or clothes. Any clothes in the room can easily catch mold. I advise to take a good umbrella and a pair of flip flops.

:
Everything what I needed was on campus, food, library, classrooms, everything at one place. There were also lots of various and cheap sport opportunities.
What most surprised you at the partner university in a negative way

Everyone has to undergo a lot of paper work during the registration at the beginning of the year. To get a student card, you will need many photocopies of your passport, health checks, letters and application forms and hand those to a staff in required order.
Further comments
:
I would prefer wider variability of language based courses.
