Commentaire personnel

The computer access at the university could be better. I ended up putting a DSL line in my room so I would not have to deal with it, adding a significant extra expense. I also traveled tons, but it was all worth it!

Recommandations de cours

The German "trial and error" system for choosing courses is the best I've seen. It gives students tons of freedom to take any type of course, and alos to try new things just for fun. The Deutsch als Fremdsprache classes, aren't phonominal, but ok. If you can take courses in German, or even another language, do so, because you will meet more Germans that way.

Commentaire personnel

The system is very different, so if you are from an english speaking country, learn how Germans write papers before you attempt to do so. The style is very different.

A really nice place to spend a year. The weather can be a bit depressing, but towards the summer, it becomes really nice and the lake is wonderful to have nearby. I made amazing friends and had a BLAST. Would recomend the experiance to anyone...oh yeah, don't miss Ali Baba's Doener kebaps on Bodan Platz!!! They're the best in town!

Germans speak English if you ever get into a problem and are very willing to help. Though it's still hard sometimes doing things in a foreing language, it's all part of the adventure.

Commentaire personnel

There is a party every night in Konstanz. Don't miss Sonnenbuehl and Europahaus parties, and check out the Shamrock, the cocktail bar (half price wednesdays) and Shananigans. Make sure you are in town for Fasching, the only time of the year where the germans go absolutely crazy.

Logement

Type de logement: Sur le campus

Organisé par: Université d'accueil

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Sur le campus

Pourquoi?

It was right near the university for easy access to classes, and all of my friends lived there, so my social life revolved around where I lived. Also, I had contact with Germans through living with them.

Commentaire personnel

It wasn't exactly a beautiful room nor did it have modern facilities, but after I got over that, I realized that it was the best place to live due to the social life and contact with Germans. The international environment is also a plus.
