Ludwig Maximilians Universität München (LMU)

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.

From Munich you can travel easily to most parts of europe. The alps are onle 1h away by car, and you can get to the Adriatic sea in a few hours...

Don't expect too much language training from the introductory course. The course is however brilliant for getting to know other exchange student and the city.

Travel as much as you can and enjoy the beautiful location of Munich! More people can share the Bayernticket or the Schönes Wochenende ticket. It comes out very cheep and you can ever go to Salzburg on these tickets.

The best desision I've ever made, was to spend an academic year abroad. I've made new friends, lived in a new culture, learned the language and learned so much of life and about myself. SUPER!

When you register for health insurance make sure they give you your health insurance card (they didn't give me one so I had to pay for medical treatment). Go (from British Airways)offer the cheapest flights to Munich from the UK and it takes about 40 mins on the train to reach the city centre. Munich is probably one of the more expensive places to live in Germany (which makes it about the same as the UK so its still not too expensive). There are also a lot of tourist trap bars and shops in the city centre so beware.
