Travel as much as you can but be sure to save money. People are friendly so fitting in should not be a problem. City has great activities and excellent public transport system.

I wish I had known...

I was very lucky in that I actually knew someone in Dublin who had relatives in Augsburg - they supplied me with all relavent information, such as which local health certificates are required and where to take out a bank account and health insurance in Augsburg.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

Final comments

There is no international airport in Augsburg and the last trains leave Munich at about midnight so it is best to arrive early. Be sure to have all relevant documents as the local authorities will not give much leeway on that front. get a bank account as soon as possible.

Augsburg is located in Bavaria and that is a great place with many important and beautiful sights. One is very close to Italy, Austria and Switzerland etc.

Final comments

If you prefer to live in Halls of Residence then try your hardest to get into UniViertel. Otherwise, i would suggest moving into a shared flat where you can live with other German students. Halls of Residence do not provide such a good opportunity for mixing with the native speakers, as they keep to themselves.

I went there somewhat blindly...and alone as well. This was the best way to learn new things and get acquainted with new people.

If you have the chance, go to Augsburg. It is well situated in Bavaria. You have access to the Alps, Austria, Suisse and many other Central European countries...the roads are open for you to explore!

Final comments

Buy yourself a good tourbook before you leave and a few rolls of film + camera. Make the most of it! Eat at the local bakeries and experience German clubs (the music is much better than in North America!!).
