“Wannabe premium Uni”
Anton G
Germany,
Business Studies, 2023
OverallThe FAU itself might be a great university, but the WiSo (business and economics apartment) is the worst I have seen so far. Just a few examples: they lost an exam and blamed the student so he had to retake it, they continuously misprint the bachelor's degree graduation papers (blame somehow the student again), they offer exchange semesters at universities that don't even offer business courses (ofc didn't tell us and blamed us again). These are just a few examples, but this university is just bad and don't even ask about the facilities which are old, broken and disgusting.

Careers
The career office is okay, they offer some kind of lectures to help/prepare students for the real world. They are interesting, but because of Covid I couldn't really attend a lot of them.

Overall
I wish I had known...
That there would be so many other foreign students there including about 30 irish! and that most administrative offices will only deal with you between 8 and 12.
