Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen

I didn´t expect the language courses were so great.

Keep on with this great german courses!, There are very helpful teachers.

Some agreements regarding the courses I chose were supposed to be made with the teachers before the break between the winter and summer semester, i.e. a couple of months before I arrived for the semester start.

With a university from 1477 and 21000 students and 9000 university employees living in a comparatively small city of 85000 inhabitants, Tübingen is a true university city with a unique atmosphere. Still some of the best opportunities of getting to know local people can be found outside the student environment.

I was 20 years old when studying in Germany. Any underage American student can tell you that you tend to spend more on nightlife simply because you can (You have to be 21 to go to most clubs and bars in the States). I travelled more because the German railway system is incredibly efficient and convenient. As concerns other expenses, the USD was (and continues to be) very strong compared with other currencies, the DM included.

I had been here before

Tuebingen is a great city, but i will say that after a total of 1 and a half years, i would not study there again. It gets smaller and smaller each week after about 7 months. But seriously, this is what my girlfriend calls a "Super-Uni." The programs are great and they have a good setup to take care of students.

Though Tufts University nominally grants credit for any course offered through the Karls Eberhard University (provided the student meets certain expecations - i.e. attends class, participates, and either writes a term paper or undergoes oral examination), one can run into problems if taking a class with a German Professor unfamiliar with the Tufts program. Try and take classes recommended by the Director of Tufts in Tuebingen.
