Alright since I've already watched the current episode of law and order, I'd figure I'd post this for fun. For anyone who wants to study abroad in Switzerland the only thing I can say right now is be prepared to fill out a ridiculous amount of paper work and spend an ungodly amount of time at kinkos or someother copy place. Also the Swiss goverment wants just about everything notarized. Bank statements, college degrees, diplomas, bloodwork, x-rays of soul and just about anything else you can think of.
Of course these are all exaggerrated ( not really) but the visa only took about 5 weeks to process. Then I had to send an envelope to the Consulate in Atlanta, which the post office suggested I purchase a 30 dollar envelope for both ways, not that I expected anything less from the precission like USPS. With all the bitching aside I am really looking forward to being in Switzerland. I know I will have a blast and everyone I have talked to is extremely nice and very helpful. I am not looking forward to the cold wheather. Oh well can't win them all. In case you were wondering what a Swiss Franc looks like please pay attention to the pic. I've heard Switzerland is expensive so all the money in the pic is probably enough to buy a pint of milk and 3 slices of toast sans butter. Oh well at least it looks cool. I'll update this when I arrive in Switzerland. Cheers
