I wish I had known...
As I am already an international student, I had many experiences in loking for a room, adapting to a new life, communicating with new people and so on. Therfore, there is not so many difficutlties for me at all.
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!

Personal recommendation:
Do not expect the other people ( even they have responsibility of helping you) to help you. For example, a room and way to go to your host university. You must be always initiative and independent on anybody!



FINAL COMMENTS

In conclusion, everybody needs to be initiative. Joining in a social event or university's party, travel and so on. There, you can meet a lot of people. You will get to know a lot of cultures and interesting thing that You have ever known. Do not stay at home and try to adapt to the new life althouhg you may not like it much. By that way, you will be more active and this will help you a lot, such as, know some cheap train ticket, cheap flight ticket and good place to go!

Personal recommendation:
There are two programmes of Management at school, one is in English one is in German. A student cannot mix them,i.e. he/she must do whether in English or in German. I think it would be great to let students to learn both languages.



FINAL COMMENTS

I think I have good knowledge and experience not only in the study but also in the real life. For the past three years I have learned may be more about the real life than ever.

It has a very good reputation for business in Germany. However, the town itself is not the best place for a student to live.



FINAL COMMENTS

Try not to live with other foreign students as you will end up speaking in English constantly and it will be difficult to improve your German.

I believe they need a bit mor of organization. The people in the IP Office should be able to speak other language besides german to make communication easier. Offer more extra-curricular activities such sports, workshops, foreign languages courses.



FINAL COMMENTS

Always travel in groups, 2 to 5 people is ok, more than that is crazy. Look for hostels, and discounts, you can get good deals. Germany is a beautiful country, get to know it in advance, read about the culture so you can enjoy everything the country offers.
