Personal comments
The St.Pauli area, ReeperBahn these places show how is nightlife in hamburg. Not to mention these areas are totally safe and nothing to worry about the fear of travling in the nights. Excellent transportation facilities in Hamburg. But have to travel for most of the time. Spend half of the day in traveling

Academic
Course recommendations
this course should plan for the right composition of international and local european students. By doing so the students can be grouped properly into an interenational group and not into the group they feel like. By having a proper composition of the group, it will give an international exposure to all the students. After all this is all for what the international course is there for.

Personal comments
As i have already mentioned more concentration has to be put into the group composition. A little bit more of the technical subjects may be introduced, rather than having so much management modules. Though they are interesting, I feel they are a little too much for this degree(as the name suggests what should be in this course, which is a little disappointing)

Stay home.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I want the course co-ordinators to look deeply into forming international groups for assignments and course works. THis is the reason for what we all are here for. There must be a equal composition of various cultures and nationalities.

Final comments
Some scholarships and fee waivers must be given to international students(like Asians, Africans..) as it is difficult for this people to find financial help from their government. The europeans are supported by their own body for education. We as Asians expect some financial help as we are from developing countries who are not so strong in economy as the GERMANS or the English.

Personal spending habits
Accomodation I feel is a normal price to this part of the world. This is equivalent to what we pay in our home country. I paid a lot for the telephobe bills because I really missed my family and hence wanted to keep in touch with them regularly. Hence spent a lot of money on phones and the internet. I did not spend so much money on the night life becuase I did not like the nightlife even in my home country. But when some friends forced i did go out with them. Travel expenses was quite reasonable

Personal comments
I have had no cost saving tips for my stay period. But what I would say is try to spend as little as possible on phones, traveling and never never mind or calculate on the food. Spend casually on food, as without food it is very difficult to enjoy a good health
