Personal comments
The english language has always played a major role in my educational life. I spent a high-school exchange year in the US as well as many holidays. Also choosing to attend an english university in Germany was really important for my fututre career plans. I have no real problems with the english language, wehter in business or in social life. I also have many american friends and I also did an internship in the US and I never had any major problems with the language.

Personal spending habits
I spend less on the phone because the rates are cheaper and more on travel because I traveled more than at home to see as much as I could of the area. Everything else depended on the exchange rate.

If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I really enjoyed living on campus with other students. This way it was easy to get to know other people and be a part of the american life-style. It was also an advantage in terms of learning the language better and see the american way of living with its traditions and cultures

Personal comments
My accomondation inclded one appartment which I shared with an american girl and a french girl. The appartment had several rooms, such as a living, dining and two bedrooms. As well as a kitchen and a bathroom. I shared my room with the american girl. The whole house consisted of six appartments, three males and three females, and were mixed with international and american students. It was really nice to live this way to get to know other students and feel belonging to the group. All house members were very close to each other. So we all hang out together or made parties or theme evenings and so on.
