Personal comments
I studied both in German and in English during my semester abroad. Honestly my English was always better, so when I had difficulties with understanding or saying something in German I always had the option to switched to English, because all of the students and teachers speak very good English in Germany. But normally I tried to express myself in German so I could improve both my German and my English as well.

An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
none
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
Because at home I live with my parents, so I dont have to spend for housing etc. And of course I travelled much more than at home, since I wanted to see as much from Germany as I can!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because you can get to know a lot of other students living on the campus and you quickly can integrate yourself into the community.

Personal comments
Two important comments:
1. It was very easy to get an appartment on the campus thanks to the help of the host university, which is very important if you want to move to a place where you dont know anybody!
2. The university arranged the appartments in a way that most of the international students lived on the same part of the campus, which is also great since you find people who are in the same situation as you are: you need to find new friends.

Brauhaus, Brazil...
Event: Shuttle bus party It's just amaizing. There is a bus which goes around Würzburg and stopps at more than 40 different clubs, bars etc. You have to buy a ticket to only one club and than you can enter all of the clubs for free, you can reach with the Shuttle bus during that night! Of course, neadless to say the biggest party is always going on on the bus!:)) There are 2 Shuttle bus paties during one semester, don't miss it!
