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: Halls, but far from Uni
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I have moved out of halls in to a shared flat and, although more expensive, it is much nearer the Uni and the town center. You can still visit your friends after all!
Personal comments:
'Camp Pieri'halls were a 25 minute bus ride from the Uni. They are very large with 200+ students and an amazing student community atmosphere. 4 to a flat. Cheap and big! Friedrich Naumann is closer to town and Uni but only two to a flat and rarely any student mixing.

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, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Wiesabaden has a lot of small bars and cafes, but only a few clubs, which usually are too expensive for students. Mainz has alot of everything, and it much cheaper. A few cafes by dar, bars by night are worth visiting, notably Spital and Haltbar. Occasionally, the Schlacthof, Wiesbaden's Kulturzentrum, throws a decent party, but thousands of people might show up. The school has at least one party a week it seems, hosted by a different department. Some departments, especially the designers and the architects, throw good parties within this school setting.

ACADEMIC    
by adam_g, Kingston University, Kingston, United Kingdom
Business Studies, Erasmus
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:
Very easy to get carried away and do high level ones, but when it comes to exams be wary - very strict marking. Check out as many lecturers as possible as it is their teaching which will affect your eventual pass/fail!



My opinion of the university assessment
Exams at end of course
KEY:
Liked it.
It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course
Essays and/or projects at the end of course.
Essays and/or projects throughout the course
Overall
Personal comments:
There are now very good computers at the Uni, but no printers. Teaching is generally eratic, with some lecturers very passionate about their subject and others boring. Uni is on at least two camus', so I am only reviewing the business one.

Overall
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: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
The FH offered a short, two-week language class for exchange students before the semester began. This was very good, and my German imporved a lot. But during the semester, the same teacher offered a German class that only met once per week. It was not as good, and I dropeed it quickly. Really, everybody can speak english. You have to "try" to speak German in social situations?

Being a student saves you a lot of money just by showing the student ID. Get a Bahncard if you intend to do a lot of train traveling outside Hessen.
