When you come in München you can get a Bayern-Ticket with another 5 people. If you are alone, take a Bayer-Ticket single. It will be cheaper than a normal ticket, and then in Kempten you can get the buses all that day without paying anything else. Read Review

FH-Kempten review by Sara

Review by Sara, Universitat de les Illes Balears, Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Tourism, Erasmus
HOUSING    
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: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Because it is just near from the other students that are on their own in the city and it´s easier to meet new people. Futhermore, if you have a strange Schedule, you can always go home and then again to the university, without time wasting.
Personal comments:
I lived there in three different houses, two of them where given from the host university, I found the third one (when I was independent student). They where really different: the first one was in the town, 30 minutes from the university but in the Town centre, the second one was a five-rooms-appartment in the campus and the third one an individual appartment in the campus. I just can say, I had good luck with my neighbours and didn´t have any problem.

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: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Personal comments:
As Cafe, I went always to "the collegue" and in the big Warehaus "Forum". There you can find everything. As place to go in the evening (until 1 a.m., I liked the "Ritter Keller". The atmosphere was really good and they had also live concerts. And in the campus it´s always on Tuesday evening the Zugspitzbar party, that was a bar direct in the campus and you meet all the people you knew. But it was just too hot!

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:
Well, I couldn´t choose my courses, because I did a Doble Diplom, and I had to course this fix Courses. It depends on what for courses/knowledge you need, what are your interest and which is your language Level.

KEY:
Liked it.
It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.

Essays and/or projects throughout the course
Overall
Personal comments:
Just that when the Professors knows that they have erasmus students, they could try to speak "hochdeutsch". Not everybody did it. I had luck, and had good teachers, but I meet people who for that reason could not do a course.
