Hi!

Though I never participated in an student exchange programme (due to the fact that I'm in my second year), I've been to the exchange office and I've read an experience report from an econ student who went to Berkeley for one year and he never mentioned that the school wasn't paying attention to him. The opposite is true, in the report he stated that they helped him with allthe bureaucracy stuff u have to do (whatever he meant with this). So it seems that u don't have to worry about such things, but this is a commentary from a german student (and if u only get some help with formalities then this is luxury for a german student)
