HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? because it is near the university and I would have to go there everyday...
Personal comments:
For Erasmus students it is very easy to look for a house there. The host university makes everything for you and tells you all steps you have to follow once you are there. Moreover I think that the cost was pretty good, I have paid less than €200 for a furnished room with shared bath and kitchen (with 2 persons more) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Favourite cafe was Cafe Esprit, and Pools. The parties held at the university could vary in quality, but the Nicholas Party before Christmas is a must! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
The Literature course offered were amazing. Find the well-known lecturers who are known outside of the university for their research etc. They are the better ones, who demonstrate the most passion for both their subjects and the students.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The university system in Germany is very different. Be aware of the independance of study, and the different attitudes towards study. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
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:
At the beginning it is very difficult to start to talk to other people and it is easier for everyone to talk in English, as everybody can talk in this language. But little by little you become more confident and you understand that it is normal to make mistakes in a language that yo don´t know well (German in my case). Sometimes by making these mistakes is when you learn more... This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Other Other sources of funding:
Family Personal savings Government assistance Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Food and drink in Germany is very cheap when done privately. The housing I had was amazingly cheap in comparison to prices I was paying before in home-country. Travel in German is expensive- train travel espically. Travel, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Food, Nightlife, Overall: was the same price as at home. Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Buy a Bahn-Card if you plan to do some travel. Saves hundreds! Be careful about chosing a bank- there are many fees, and some banks are regionally-indepedant, making banking outside your city impossible. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
The difficulties of culture shock- believe what people say. In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
It is a great univeristy to expereince a truly German university town. There is plenty to do for a student- parties, going out, sports, good study options too... The town is sweet, and accessible, espically with a bike. FINAL COMMENTS
Find a tandem partner- either by enlisting in a program, or just make your own sign. I have a life-long friend because of it. Also, live with students where German is the common language. If you want to learn German, don't talk English, or be in the situation where you can! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
