HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? You get to meet other students, there is always something going on.
Personal comments:
The facilities were quite basic but the communal ones were cleaned daily monday to friday. The rooms were a fair size and in a good location for the University and trams into the city centre. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
McLaughlins - it may be an irish pub but the staff are great and you do get to meet german people there. Also try Ballerman 6 for the German cheesy disco experience but for a more serious night dancing check out Bhaggy Disco and MK2!

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: German
Was learning German a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your German?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
My german has improved enormously. The best thing to do is to speak as much German as possible and not worry about making mistakes. (Hard I know!) People are very patient and are prepared to help you out. It is easy to fall in with a crowd who speak your own language but try to speak as much german as possible because it is amazing how quickly you improve.

EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
Personal savings An ERASMUS grant Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
The cost of living here is cheaper so I tended to spend less on food and accomodation. The travel facilities are brilliant. The local transport networks are free with a student card and there are really good deals available both for journeys by bus and train. I spent less on a night out in Düsseldorf but tended to go out a lot more than I would at home, so on nightlife I spent about the same. Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Nightlife: was the same price as at home. Food, Travel, Overall, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
If you have the patience to wait for Deutsche Telekom, get a phone installed in your room, it saves alot of money in the long run. Beware of using english mobile phones abroad it gets very expensive! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
OVERALL
Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
How many forms you have to fill in. Prepare to spend the first few days of your stay in queues and filling out forms but make sure you do it becuase it helps you in the long run! In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Its big without being overwhelming. The people are friendly, the academic standards are high, the parties are great and the city itself is a great place to be a student. FINAL COMMENTS
