Dépenses habituelles
Obviously I spent more on my telephone bill because I am always calling my family in the US. I spent more on nightlife and travel because here all of the international students are alone. We are now like a family because we won't be able to see our families for a while. We always are going out together and traveling together. We try to stay busy so that times passes maybe a little quicker, and so that we are also always having fun. I feel that I spend less on food here because the grocery stores are much cheaper and I have also found some relatively cheap restaurants in our area.

Évaluation globale
Si j'avais su
I wish I had brought extra umbrellas. It is always raining in Aachen, and I always seem to misplace my umbrella. I wish that I had about 20 extra.

Recommandation personnelle
It is hard to find relative English courses toward your degree in the United States. I believe if you are going to come to Aachen to study, you should have a general knowledge of the German language. They do have a language course offered to help, but you should definately already have a background in the language. This will enable you to take classes in German and to speak with the other students and general public. I think it would make your stay much more pleasant and would ease your daily tasks.

Trains in Germany are much cheaper when traveling in groups. They have specials for 2 to 5 people. If you are planning on doing weekend travel or day trips, always try to find a group to go with you. Also, if you are coming from the US and want to travel in Europe quite a bit, I recommend the Eurail passes. I used the German Eurail Pass. It was worth every penny!! I traveled all over Germany for 10 days and visited about 20 cities. I only had to pay about $220. It would have been so much more expensive if I would have simply bought each ticket separately.

Commentaire personnel
I am a student in World Culture and Business. I have chosen to focus on German studies, therefore, I came to Germany for my study abroad experience. I had only studied German for one year before I went to Germany. When I first came in July, I participated in a month long intensive language course in Eichstaett, Germany. I believe this helped me prepare for Aachen. By the time I made it to Aachen, I already had a feel for the German culture. I was very much at ease with everyday life in Germany. I had alread traveled and used my knowledge of the German language. I believe that my experiences in class and simply out in everyday life have greatly increased my interests in the German language and culture. I have really enjoyed my experience here, and I only want to learn more and keep furthering my German studies.

There is a street in Aachen called Pontstrasse. There are many cafes and bars. Many nights there were different parties for students here during happy hour and so on. There are also two pretty good clubs in the city that are definately the hot spots after about 12:00 pm.

Logement
Type de logement: Appartement/maison
Organisé par: Université d'accueil
Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison
Pourquoi?
I like having an apartment of my own. However, I would like to live in a different part of town and in a bigger room. My room is very small, and still more expensive than larger apartments that I have seen while in Aachen.

Commentaire personnel
I thought they did the best that they could do. They had so many students come and the same time from all over the world. They didn't know any of us, and they simply had to place us in some type of housing. I consider myself lucky just to have a place to stay that is relatively cheap.
