Facilities need to be upgraded especially in the area of internet connectivity. The external environment needs to be spruce up as well especially the lighting at night.

Basic German is a definite must to survive there. It is quite interesting to talk to locals and to find out their special customs. When I speak German to locals, they are pretty impressed with me and they are more friendly.

Personal comments
There are a lot of erasmus parties and trips or events. To be updated with all that news you have to loggin at TUMIS web page. In my opinion erasmus parties are funny, but getting involved with the german culture, going out with them and attend to their parties is also an important part of the erasmus life. Stammtisch every monday is a good moment to meet all erasmus people and also the Kneipe Tour at the beguining of each semester.
There is time for erasmus life but also to integrate in the german culture!
