 ## HG (Hauptgebäude)
 HG is one of the most complicated buildings in terms of layout.
+When looking towards Rämistrasse (where the main entrance is located),
+to your left are all rooms from X1 (excluding X5 and X7) to X30, where X is the letter for the current floor.
+On your right all rooms from X30, as well as X5 and X7. This is the south side, where most first semester courses are taught

 ## CAB
+Important locations:
+- VIS
+- CS library
+- Many exercise classes
+- VSETH
 
 ## ML
+This is the (fairly ugly) building right opposite HG along Rämistrasse.
+ML D28 is the lecture in which for example EProg are taught.
+
 
 ## ETA
+This building can be found by walking along the USZ (Unispital Zürich) up the road perpendicular to Rämistrasse, turning right at the first road, then up the stairs on the left.
+There you will reach the ETZ building, to which ETA is connected.
+ETA pretty much only houses the Paul-Scherrer-Hörsal, ETA F5, in which Discrete Maths takes place.
+You find it by walking along the corridor and turning left at the first opportunity through the doors.

 ## Bachelor's Programme Structure
 Most students need between six and seven semesters to finish their bachelor's degree, followed by a further four to five semesters for the master's degree.
 For more information on the studies and things to keep in mind, see [here](./semester-planning).
+
+All first year courses (and most later courses, with some exceptions) follow a structure of having:
+- Some lectures (denoted `V` for "Vorlesung" in VVZ, EduApp and MyStudies)
+- Some exercise classes (denoted `U` for "Übungsstunde" in VVZ, EduApp and MyStudies)
+- (Occasionally) some kind of project work (denoted `A` for "Arbeit")
+- (Rarely, mostly GESS and Seminar) Group classes (denoted `G` for "Gruppenstunde", similar to High school classes)
+
+In the first semester, you have one course with an `A`, which is Algorithms and Datastructures (short A&D) where the CodeExpert tasks are the project work.
+This of course means that the effort needed to put into CodeExpert can be quite a bit more than the normal assignments.
