Final comments

There were a student group which really helped us (international students) to get in touch with the city, the university, the culture and the country. I think they really achieved to make us part of campus life through weekly meetings, excursions and some trips around Germany, it was the best welcome we could have!

“The university itself is alright for the most part and not much different than most other German uni's”

Overall

The campus is good but it seems to be missing some trash bins and the teachers are decent however, i would like to see more practical classes and less theory. It seems too monotonous and robotic the way most classes are taught. The requirements in the examinations do not always reflect the quality of education gained there. Furthermore, the minor examinations should be made easier for those students compared to the ones who study that particular subject as a major.

Careers

No it does not, I discovered this link on the uni website but no additional help is available. My previous internships i have found by myself. It is in general very difficult to find anything without fluent German language skills and previous experience.

Pros

it is one of the few offering English courses in sustainability related fields.

Cons

Help regarding internships specifically to foreign students

It is an amazing experience that is benefical in so many ways that you can't even imagine. It was worth every day of working 2 jobs to save up for it!

Expenses

Main source of funding:

Family

Other sources of funding:

Family<br> Personal savings<br> An ERASMUS grant

Work opportunities:

I worked, but it was illegal/cash in hand work

Personal spending habits

I took so much care of my economy outside, I could not expect my parents make this big effort without having some consideration with them. The bigger amount was the accommodation. All travels were orginzed by a host-student group which made them really affordable. I didn't spend so much in nightlife, as I don't usually drink alcohol, I just wanted to be with my friends there, not spendind all my money just in a party.

Housing:

was more expensive than at home.

Travel, Telephone, Food, Overall:

was the same price as at home.

Nightlife:

was less expensive than at home.

Accessibility of student needs

Second-hand text books

Second-hand household items

Computers / Internet

At the end of my Erasmus I was saving money because I wanted to stay there longer. The next semester I was working in Hamburg and was living in Lüneburg. I could stay there the all year.
