Hi Reinhard.
Good luck in class!
Training:  Lots of it!  My class took 2 walks a day of medium length,
generally.  Then there were obedience exercises, and optional walks in the
grounds on my own.  Not overly rigorous, but not too lazy, either.
Dorm life:  The dorm can be a bit noisy, but the rooms are comfortable and
the food is good.  I've stayed in worse hotels, really.
Computers:  There are computers in the tech room in the basement, and
access to wireless internet.  If you don't have a wireless card, you can
borrow one from TSE.
Lectures:  We got lectures on tape to listen to before the actual lecture,
so we could hopefully discuss the material intelligently and ask
questions.  In other words, we were supposed to study and prepare for the
lectures, but there was adequate time to do so.
Staff:  I found the staff friendly, courteous, and professional, just the
way I like it.

I enjoyed the whole experience.
Tracy
