Personal comments
EAT AT ANY KIOSK (IMBISS) TO CUT DOWN ON EXPENSES. THE STUDENT CAFE WAS INEXPENSIVE COMPARED TO RESTURANTS. BUY YOUR FOOD AT THE GROCERY STORES ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN. PURCHASE A STUDENT "JUGEND PASS" FOR THE TRAIN - INSTEAD OF EURORAIL PASS.

Course recommendations
TAKE THE EASIER ONES FIRST. THEN BUILD UPON THIS FOUNDATION. EVERYTHING IST AUF DEUTSCH - SO YOU NEED TO BE FAMILLIAR. IF YOU HAVE ZERO EXPERIENCE WITH GERMAN, THEY HAVE A CLASS FOR BEGINNERS.

BECOME FAMILLIAR WITH THE EUROPEAN STYLE OF INSTRUCTION - LECTURES - SEMESTER PROJECTS - OPEN DISCUSSION - -- IT WAS A BIT CONFUSING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WERE TO BE TESTED ON - AND THE EXPECTATIONS FROM PROFESSORS.

I wish I had known...
EICHSTAETT IS A BIT ISSOLATED. THE VILLAGE IS LOCATED ON A REMOTE TRAIN LINE WHICH ONLY RUNS A FEW TIMES A DAY (EICHSTAETT IS REALLY THE END OF THE LINE...) RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE WHO REALLY WANT TO EXPERIENCE SOUTHERN GERMANY CULTURE WITHOUR DISTRACTIONS. *** I HAVE NO REGRETS CHOOSING EICHSTAETT **** THE STUDENTS FROM ITALY THOUGHT EICHSTAETT WAS COLD.

FLY TO MUNICH OR NURNBERG GERMANY INSTEAD OF FRANKFURT. ONCE YOU ARE IN EICHSTAETT - PURCHASE OR BORROW A BIKE FROM THE DORMATORY - IT WILL HELP ASSIST GETTING AROUND. HAVE FUN!

Personal comments
ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS AT THE UNIVERSITY WERE A CONSTANT SOURCE OF CONFUSION DURING THE FIRST SEMESTER. IT DID IMPROVE WITH TIME, HOWEVER. THE US UNIVERSITY TRIED TO HELP WITH INTEGRATION AND GAVE COURSES IN 'CULTURAL AWARENESS' AS A PRE-REQUISITE TO STUDY ABROAD. ONCE WE HAD LEFT THE HOST UNIVERSITY WE WERE PRETTY MUCH ON OUR OWN.
