Personal social experience
Personal comments
All student Halls have Bierstubes and that is where students get the best, cheap bier etc. The bars are not classy but that is where u get to see all of your friends. Nightlife in town is OK;the nightclubs were too small for myself. Best club: the Yum Club.

Personal comments
Accommodation provided by university is very cheap and reasonable in comparison to the British ones. Some of the halls are a bit far away from the campus but Augsburg is not such a big place.

My oral German has improved a lot, but the written side is still lagging behind. Tandem partners are a good idea and an easy way of making new friends.

Final comments
If you prefer to live in Halls of Residence then try your hardest to get into UniViertel. Otherwise, i would suggest moving into a shared flat where you can live with other German students. Halls of Residence do not provide such a good opportunity for mixing with the native speakers, as they keep to themselves.

Personal comments
The Library is very complicated and outdated. The system in place is very strange and unfriendly. The lecturers and professors will only see you in their Sprechstunden and that is only 2hrs/week;personally, i found that totally unhelpfull.
