At ICL, we were mostly required to study independently. Classes at the university are 6-7 hours a week, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have anything to do. For each lesson, we were given a list of mandatory and recommended reading (minimum 300-400 pages per week), so “doing everything on the last night before the exam” never works here. Among the disadvantages, is not only education is very expensive, but also accommodation, transport and additional expenses for the university, which turned out to be quite a lot of constant work with papers (for example, to get a room, you need to submit a separate application form – and it is not a fact that you will be given housing).
