The pricelevel is almost the same. I only spent less on meat and fruits because they aren´t imported and therefore cheaper. The prices regarding nightlife where the same or more. Due to this I didn´t spend that much when going out. On travelling I spent a lot more, but not because it was more expensive, but due to the fact that I usually do not spend a lot on travelling in Germany, and in Chile I traveled for 7 weeks.

Cosmetic things like tooth brushes, shampoo, deo or stuff like that are very expensive and sometimes hard get in comparison to Germany. It´s better to take special things from your home country (like f.e. for the maintenance of contact lenses...). Really cheap and good is the public transport system there. In every city is a central busstation where you can compare prices and schedules between the different agencies.

I am glad that I chose the oportunity to go to an university where no other german or european students studied while I was there. This was clue to proceed in learning the language that well and fast as I have done. The chilean people are not considerate of the fact that you cannot follow them. They do not speak slowlier or pronounce better, but they are glad when you speak a bit spanish and they offer you help in every ocasion.
No there was nothing left, because I had spoken to a student who had been there one term before.

The organisational procedure at the beginning is a bit annoying, but after the courses have started, the support of teachers and local students is great and helps you to master the situation.

It is quite an experience to study in Southamerica, but every open-minded person willing to adapt even on a lower level of living (in comparison to Europe) which will be recompensed by hospitality and warmth of the people there, will spend an unforgetable part of life there. If you have the opportunity to travel with backpack - seize the chance. You will love it!!
To have a comparable level of demand you need to choose courses offered in the last year of the career there. It is not recommendable to rely on the information you received in your home country regarding the offered courses the term you have planned to go, because nobody knows exactly the offer until 2 or 1 week before. You have to accept that it is a kind of surprise which courses you can really attend. But the quality is very good and teachers really want you to participate in class. You do a lot of group work, presentations and also work prepared on your own. Regarding the tools of instruction I can say that they are better than in spanish universities where it is very common that teachers only dictate their material and students learn them by heart.

I liked the way they use to assess their students. They have to write at least two exams: one at the half of the term and one at the end. When you have obtained a certain mark, it is not necessary to attend the final written and oral exam. This encourage learning continually and not only at the of the course the whole stuff which occurs with the german system to write only one exam at the end of the course. I prefer the chilean way to asses.

Twice a week I attended a dancing course, which was offered by the local community. After classes we always went to a club to practise our just acquired knowledge under real circunstances. We always danced until the owner "forced" us to leave because he wanted to close the club. These nights were the best! I enjoyed it very much.
Because living with a family is a unique possibility to get in touch with the habits, customs and "real" way of life in a foreign country. Furthermore, I really enjoyed my residence within my family. There are like my second, "real" family and we are still in contact.

The university does not really support you to find accomodation, but the teachers are very interested in the kind of accomodation you live, if you feel good, the family treats you good and they offer support regarding any questions or problems you may have.
