“It is better to travel in groups as you can group discounts, and when going to other countries it is sometimes to fly but to book a flight early to get the best discount. When one goes on exchange, they should take every opportunity to learn the local language, it is one of the best investments one can make.” Read Review

HOUSING    
by larry, Skema Business School, Nice, France
Financial Management, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: In colocation
Why? Living alone is quite annoying, I need some life at home.
Personal comments:
The problem is that local people know that students are hardly looking for accomodation, so they rise prices a lot. And there is no government help as in France for housing costs. But the quality of housing is excellent.

STUDENT LIFE

Personal social experience
Activities
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: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
If you're there, you should go to Frankfurt for daylife (animations on the Zeil) and nightlife (U60311). The best thing to do there is to search good local websites announcing events, concerts... on this region.

ACADEMIC

My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
Choose easy courses, especially if you are struggling with the German language, but nonetheless choose courses in that language. That's because the academic standards there are quite high, i.e. there are rarely easy courses. Big exception: Entrepreneurship, which I took. Good teaching, not too much work & the professors love to give good grades :)

Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Personal comments:
It was a bit difficult in the beginning but my proficiency in German improved with more interaction with people in the community and not just the students.

Personal spending habits:
Housing in Germany seemed to be generally more expensive and it being my first time in Europe I wanted to travel more. I spent less on food because there is a wider variety which enabled me to save more.
Travel, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Nightlife, Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Food: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Some food groups were surprisingly affordable, that is where most of my cost savings came from. Tip: it is better to buy supermarket brand food and to travel in groups to save on gas or get group discounts on tickets.

Personal recommendation:
If you like finance, go there, your expactations will be "overfilled"!



FINAL COMMENTS

Take several scarfs, gloves,... for the cold. For nightlife, if you like electronic music and rock/metal, it's excellent. If you live near the "Burg", you don't need a laptop, just use computers there. If you intend to stay just one semster, it is useless to buy one, every student goes nearly every day on the web.
