It was a great experience even when one is there and misses home and the life sometimes harder than at home is. The prove is that when I was back home I did my best to find something else in Germany, now home is too little!

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
I was leaving at home with my family and the expences for food, accomodation are shared with them and they are less than when somebody lives alone. I did not have telephone and the expenses were more at home because they had to phone me. Nightlife was cheap and there was not much offer, thus I did not expend much money. To travel is expensive in Germany and I went to Berlin every weekend...

It was the correct city to learn German because the people could not speak english (in the DDR they had learned Russian) and thus I was forced to speak in german. Also with also students I had to speak german because their English was not realy good.

Student life
Describe host city:
Students interact with the local community without much university involvement

Nightlife, Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Personal social experience
Personal comments
There was not any big offer but a little pub in the campus. The city needs more nightlife and there is not much to do. It is a city from the old DDR and they still need time to match with oder european cities.
