Everything was in German and that`s what I came there to do. If you want to study in the German-speaking area in English, go to Berlin or Vienna. Not in Munich.

It is simply more expensive in Munich and for travelling I´ve spent more just because I travelled more. And I think Deutsche Bahn is the most expensive railway in central Europe.

Overall
I wish I had known...
In general man stressed the Munich-exchange students with the horrible Bavarian dialect so that we thought we wouldn´t understand a word they say there, but that is not true. The people in the city Munich don´t speak dialect although it is the capital of Bavaria.
