“Université de Fribourg”
Andrea L
Switzerland, Graduate
Language, 2023
OverallI very much enjoy studying at the University of Fribourg. I did my Bachelor's degree there at the English department and now I am doing my Master's degree. Fribourg is a great place to study. The city is very interesting and there are some sports which are absolutely lovely. The thing I love the most about the University is that it is some kind of melting pot. People from all over Switzerland are studying there. You can hear all of the four national languages plus many other languages spoken by international students in just one day.

It will be very easy to find out were the right places are! don't worry about it! "Cafe Grand Place", "la Rose", "Grand Duc", and parties at the fraternities. Lots of small cafes at the close villages, Gruyeres...

Fribourg is a small but lovely town with quite many students but is can be very quite on weekends and holidays. The University is quite small but everything is easily accesible. The student dormitory is just accross the street.

The train system is great in Switzerland so you can get wherever you want very fast and comfortable and if you get a halfprice ticket even not very expensive. Mountains are great for hiking and lots of beautiful lakes.
