Is it good to eat out in Zurich? Can you tell us your favourite spots?

Yes, but so expensive. I really like the bar/restaurant "Clouds" at the top of the prime tower, you have a great view over Zurich. The restaurant "Vapiano" in the city center is one of my favourites as well- you can see how they prepare your food.

Is the nightlife good in Zurich? Where is good to go?

There are better places to go than commercial clubs. Personally, I like student parties...

What advice would you give future students heading to Zurich?

You need to know that Zurich is a very expensive city and its surely not the easiest country to get to know people. But with other international students, it's usually great.
