Type of housing: Catholic Student Housing

Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

If returning, I would choose: would choose here

Why? 'cause it's basically near all institutes i need to visit, the main cafeteria and the library!

Personal comments:
It's okay. Internet is included in the rent... one can survive - it's not home is it?

Describe host city: Student life dominates the city

Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment

Personal comments:
There's really just the Anno Tobak - a café/bar place and the Kellerclub where ppl just laze around... Most parties are held in instute buildings or the main cafeteria. There also could be more parties. Night life here is so so. If you've been used to more - or at least having a choice, when you get here you'll embrace every party you get with gratitude!

Course recommendations:
Learn loads of "Technical" german. Being able to speak it is not the same as understanding all the scientific and technological terms. Most ppl here aren't eager to help either - they just look at you like you're a retard for not understanding and your self esteem just goes to pieces.

Personal comments:
I would appreciate more support and understanding for international undergraduates! Sarcastic comments may motivate some but that does not include me.

Language of instruction: German

Main source of funding:
Personal savings

Other sources of funding:
None

Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options

Personal spending habits:
Nothing to do, nowhere to go, don't know nobody, got too much work. Live in self catering.

Telephone: was more expensive than at home.

Food: was the same price as at home.

Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was less expensive than at home.

I wish I had known...
I wish i had done more research into the area - perhaps visited before my course started. Seen if i could live here. This uni is proud of how many international students they have. Frankly, I'm not happy here and i think they could be more supportive and understanding of int. students. The reason why other int. students and i stay? Well, 'cause it's either taken so much effort, money or time to get here. Like the saying goes, "YOu've made your bed, now you've got to lie in it."

In my opinion:
Stay home.
