I wish I had known...
Just m)ore administration info.About how it worked in the Uni there,the credit european transfer (I think is important and they just don´t care to muche about explaining it at home or at the host Uni).The conditions of the place.I mean if they would of tell us that it was just a forgotten little tiny noring closed minded village from the inner Germany,most of us wouldn´t of gone there.We would of try to go to Berlin or a bigger nicer place.Or,I might as well just gone for 6 months but not for the whole complete year!

Only for hard working students that want to really fight to get a place in the difficult elitist translation-interpretation world.It´s a good place to work hard but also to learn like hell.

Again,try to fix the most things before leaving and insist in the Erasmus Office of your home Uni and specially with your tutor (he will be the one to give you the marks when you´re back) to get info,info,info

Found some locals eager to practice their English when they spotted a foreigner! But overall, very pleasurable. Locals never made you feel uneasy and were very patient in difficult situations.

I wish I had known...
yes, I would have liked to be informed about the level of english classes. I did not get any equivalence, because the level of english classes was too low.

Be prepared for a very small town , but with lots of students and nice things to do and places to go! Use the "Schönes Wochenende Ticket" to travel during the weekend by train! It is very easy to find part-time jobs if you want to! it is part of the culture to have a part-time job!

there was a lovely ice-cream cafe that sold real italian ice-cream and the best cakes I have ever tasted, unfortunately i cannot remember the name on the street it was on but if you went out the main entrance of the university and crossed the road and went straight down the main street until you just pass the asian food shop turn the corner first on the left and you can't miss it. It had a really nice atmosphere and outside as well as inside seating it was lovely in the summer!
