Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg

At home housing is on campus and many of the expenses (telephone, and food) are included in the general room and board payment, which overall was a bit less then paying separately for everything in Germany. With travel, I do not travel much during the semester, however while I was in Europe I wanted to take advantage of quicker travel (shorter distances and more developed public transportation systems) in order to see as much as I could. Finally, at home I pay with the Dollar, which was (and still is)doing a bit poorly compared to the Euro so my expenses were a bit higher due to that factor.

That is generally the best form of accomodation there.

International Students: don't take too many courses in places like the IDF (Institut fuer Deutsch als Fremdsprache) - you won't get to meet any German students there!

In some cases teachers simple decided to give an speach instead of lecturing to the students. To read instead of speaking to the students, is not necessarily the best teaching method.

Well, some seminars were really there to fill up the gaps, and to me seemed as of the responsibles of this semminar were unprepared.

Not that I can think of.

Choose Heidelberg, the typical university town.
