Academic
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.

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.

Housing
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
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.
