So many people speak english very well and are eager to practice it, so I didn't find so many oppurtunities to imrove my communication skills. I feel like i should have got a lot more out of living there for one year.

At first I was very intimidated. I had studied German for three years before going to study, so I knew German. But,there is nothing like living a language. As the time went on I became more and more fluent.

Personal comments
Aspect was the best cafe. It is located kiddy corner to the university. It is a great place to have coffee, but you definately have to have their baguettes! Their great. The best night club is Kagan. It is on the 17th floor of a building right near the Hauptbahnhof. You have to check it out! Thursday's are student night, so the cover charge was minimal, but otherwise it is pretty spendy.
