Schiller, Dunedin, United States
International Relations, Undergraduate, Independent

Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

The rooms were pretty old and small. The furniture was worse than what I would find at Ikea and the bathrooms needed severe repair.

Housing at this university is definetaly not one of the selling points. The rooms are small, old and the bathrooms and kitchen need repair. The educational experience was out of this world, though!! I would say to anyone planning on going, be prepared for horrible rooms and an awesome time. Concentrate on the positive!

Since english was the language of instructions and mmost of the students speak it ..it was a bit difficult to learn german and to speak it with locals ..but how realy had the intentions to learn the language would have no problems with locals who are more then happy to practise german with you

Overall

The quality and variety of international students at Schiller stood out. I met and learned from peers from all over the world, and I plan to continue to leverage my global network as my career progresses.
I went to Schiller to shift my professional path, and I was successful in doing so, switching from finance to a tech position. Living in Heidelberg was also an unforgettable experience; there was always something interesting and fascinating to do, and being in a global city made networking and hiring a breeze. I would suggest Schiller to anyone who enjoys a challenge and wants to step out of their comfort zone.

I unfortunately could not find a program that both accomodated my academic needs and whose language of instruction was German. I believe, however, that through my daily interactions in the community I managed to improve my German language skills considerably.
