In Muenchen hab ich so schoene Zeit als Programmstudentin verbringt.
Als viele auslaendische Studenten nach Muenchen gekommen, um ihre Studium zu machen, konnte ich viele Leute kennenlernen und andere Kultur zu erfahren.
Waehrend der Zeit in Muenchen,
manchmal war ich einsam, und manchmal war ich gut drauf.
Ich glaube ich bin mehr selbstaendig geworden.
Falls mir einmal andere Chancen gegeben wuerde, in Muenchen zu leben, moechte ich nach Muenchen zurueckgehen.

I consider that I was well prepared for my stay, but I wish I had had a better overview in getting student visa matters, whiched caused me som difficulties. Since my previous experience of Au-pair work in Munich I was well prepared, new a lot about social, cultural, political life in Germany and got to know lots of interesting people.

Ludwig Maximilians university is a very good university, which offers you a wide range of different courses. There are many international students at the university, which make the local area very multi-cultural. Every international student could have a tutour - help. There are many students organisations, so that you will surly find acctivities corresponding to your interests. If you don't speak German very well, you can take a course in Studentenwerk, organised through german students, which offer you German lessons (gratis).

Munich is a great place to spend a year. The academic system is very well organized and offers great opportunities. The city is beautiful, have many interesting places (in summer lovely "Biergarten" with the best beer in Germany and not only...). The people are very friendly and helpful. And don't forget the phrase: "Gruess Gott" :), which is a common words for greetings people in Bayern.

Course recommendations
Before a new semester starts a book (Vorlesungverzeichnis) publishes the list of all courses available at the LMU. As a foreign student you may attend different faculties. Most courses are in german but several are taught in english at the BWL (Business Administration) and VWL (Economics) faculties. Facilites are good and lots of information for BWLers is available on the web.

Studying at the LMU allows you a great autonomy but Institutes and faculties aren't centralized so it's up to students to organize themselves.

That the international office really did organize accomodations for all EU-students. Would have saved me many sleepless nights...

Personal comments
Best deal to get food are the spledid supermarkets Penny Markt, Netto, which are both fresh and good. Also, the university restaurant is cheap and very good. Clothes you can buy pretty cheap on Flohmarkt (second-hand market), in C&A, H&M, which have satisfying quallity.

The university used to organize an international meeting for erasmus students every thursday, called MENSA, there I met almost all my friends there. The night life in Munich is quite good, although expensive, there are lots of nice cafes in Giselastrasse and Turkenstrasse.
And the night spots, there are very famous discos, like Park Cafe, P1, etc, and a big big area with just only Clubs, called Ostbahnhof, some of them are: Milch bar, Rot Hause, Torero,...
