An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
In Germany at that time you could find prepaid telephon card which I didn't find in France. Night life because in was students parties, so everything is cheap. And travel because they had "wochenende tickets" if you want to travel with friends in the week-end, and "semester ticket" (paid with you inscription) for all transports within 100km around Giessen...great to visit around!

Travel, Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Personal social experience
Personal comments
Night life was mostly organized by students of the University, especially by those on exchange programs. Actually the students built the atmosphere in the city and so called night city life. Nice places in GIessen, besides kitchens on campus;), were Scarable, News Cafe, Harlem. On Schiffeberg there are someinteresting events organized.
