I wish I had known...
That there would be so many other foreign students there including about 30 irish! and that most administrative offices will only deal with you between 8 and 12.

Personal comments
I think the exam system in erlangen is terrible. Most of our exams were oral ones. Alot of the time it seemed very unfair. You could know lots but be asked a question that you did not know the answer to. Also if you got on well with the person examining you you could get a high mark. very unfair
