HOUSING
by Aron, Universidad Internacional, Cuernavaca, Mexico
Education, Independent
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
by Aron, Universidad Internacional, Cuernavaca, Mexico
Education, Independent
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

Personal comments:
A little more help regarding the area of administration - I came totally unprepared in an entirely different studying system from the one at home. 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 first it was a struggle especially to converse deeply with others and understand others, while they talked with such rapidity. Also getting used to studying and being instructed in German was difficult at first but well worth the benefits to what I was able to learn. In the end my German became much better, especially since I had a native german speaking girlfriend. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Personal savings Other sources of funding:
Family Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience Personal spending habits:
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.

Personal recommendation:
Heidelberg is a large university and university town, but there are also several international businesses in the area, so it has a very international feel, which at times was great and at times was not exactly what I wanted (English was very common, so it was up to me to make sure I was speaking German in my everyday encounters). It is a beautiful town, and a pretty good location to visit other parts of Germany and Europe. FINAL COMMENTS
Travel whenever you can (the Bahncard 25 or 50 helps keep some costs down). It is also important to be willing to try new things, and meet new people and to reserve judgement or else you will miss a lot of things. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
