HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Because I would have more interaction with people of the country and because there would be more people and it often means more activities. Also, it ussually means close to the University and there are the libreries which are very important as a student.
Personal comments:
It was fine. I cannor complain. I simply think it would have been a little better to live at the Campus. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Huptstrasse Heidelber is a very well know place whre you can simply walk around and go and have some drinks with friends. I used to go to a restaurant "Los Amigos" whcih was a good one and where you could dance Latin music. In Heidelberg you have to visit the Castle, it is amazing and there are always some cultural activity. There is the biggest wein barril of the world. Heidelberg University is the oldest one in Germany. Furthermore, the view to the river is very nice. Added to that, there are 25,ooo students whcih make this little town an amizing place to live and to study. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
In some cases teachers simple decided to give an speach instead of lecturing to the students. To read instead of speaking to the students, is not necessarily the best teaching method.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Well, some seminars were really there to fill up the gaps, and to me seemed as of the responsibles of this semminar were unprepared. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Because germany is simple lot more expensive than in Mexico, or even in Texas, US. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Well, payin a mothly ticket for the train is lot cheaper as if you had to pay anytime you use it. Also there exists a Bahncard, which you cna bay for a period of one year and then you get a 50% descaunt, which is good when you have to travel often.
