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.

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.

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...
