Ludwig Maximilians Universität München review by vermeer
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Student House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because you can choose the location you want to live in, and you may have bigger kitchen and bathroom.
Personal comments:
They are very organised, they take charge of everything, and you don't need to worry about housing. 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: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
The university used to organize an international meeting for erasmus students every thursday, called MENSA, there I met almost all my friends there. The night life in Munich is quite good, although expensive, there are lots of nice cafes in Giselastrasse and Turkenstrasse. And the night spots, there are very famous discos, like Park Cafe, P1, etc, and a big big area with just only Clubs, called Ostbahnhof, some of them are: Milch bar, Rot Hause, Torero,...

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:
Some people speak a dialect (Bavarian), so it is really hard to understand. On the other hand you can comunicate in English in several situations as well, so it is easier. 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...
Not really. In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
I think it is a good university for economics, I think it is the second one in Germany, but students try hard, very hard, and sometimes it is difficult to pass the exams, they don't make many concessions with erasmus students. FINAL COMMENTS
I went to Berlin, Innsburg, Salzburg, Prague, there are a lot of pretty close places to go! Students Hostals are very cheap and most of them are nice and clean. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
