STUDENT LIFE    
Personal social experience

KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
The best cafe is "Standard" where you can find students of the different countries in the wold. There are lots of events to go in Würzburg that you can enjoy, but I think the best is the "Weinfest".

My academic experiences
Quality of courses

Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses

Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
I did a practical Erasmus and I had not to study subjects. My work consisted of a research work in the laboratory. On the other hand, I had the opportunity to study German free. If you are student, you can study free the whole languages at Sprachzentrum.

Language of instruction: German
Was learning German a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my German
How much did you improve your German?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
At the beginning of my stay was a bit difficult to understand the chemistry terminology but my boss was very kind with me and I was able to learn them quickly. It is a good idea to have german courses for forein people because you can communicate better with people from your host country.
