CEMS, PIM Universität zu Köln (UNIKOELN)
University of Cologne, Kerpener Straße 4, 50923 Köln, Germany
3.95 / 5 based on 282 reviews.
Description:
Numbering almost 62,000 students, the University of Cologne, is one of the largest of the German universities. It is also one of the oldest: in 1988 it celebrated six hundred years of existence. The foundation of many other universities in late medieval Germany was due to the initiative of important-spiritual and temporal authorities, but in Cologne it was the citizens who established the university. Thus today the University of Cologne is still a "city university", and that in a double sense: founded by the citizens of Cologne and with a university campus not outside of but within the city itself. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the large economic and industrial Rhine/Ruhr area in the north and the city of Bonn in the south. Among students the University of Cologne is high on the national scale of popularity, as surveys have repeatedly shown.

HOUSING
by Vangelis, Aristotle Panepistimio Thessalonikis, Thessaloniki, Greece
Language, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why? Because there I met the funkiest people ever and it had a student atmosphere, the best parties in town and even..a lake
Personal comments:
The rooms were a bit depressing. The building too, but you could get to meet a lot of people This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
by David, University of Durham, Durham, United Kingdom
Language, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
The Belgischen Viertel centred behind Rudolfplatz is a great place for a night out, otherwise Barney Vallelys in the Altstadt is a great, smallishish Irish pub which shows all the English football. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
by Amelia, Universitat Jaume I, Castello, Spain
Language, Erasmus
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Courses were great and teachers also, but there was no interaction with local students, because all of us studied different things and we just had one subject in common.

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: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
As I had studied 13 years at the German School of Stockholm and also worked in Germany, I mastered the language quite well prior to the semester in Cologne. However, I learnt a number of slang and colloquial expressions that I were unaware of earlier! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
