Ludwig Maximilians Universität München (LMU)

nope

Well, munich is such a nice place for students to study though housing and food is a bit expensive.

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).

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...

Go there! The Classics department, where I was, is probably one of the very best there is.

The level of cost is higher in Germany than in Lithuania and Poland, which made the year abroad quite a costy experience. I wanted to visit many interesting places and spent a lot on travelling.
