Universität Bremen

Finding an aartment in germany is never hard. The opurtunity to live in "WG" with other international students and native students i found very rewarding.

Its important to get the right blance beteen stretching yourself and setting achievable targets. That said the wide variety of courses german universities offer, (compared to the relativly rigid course framework of many english universities) means theres always plenty to choose from.

The openended nature of study in Germany, does have the downside, that you are often given little guidance as to what level or kind of work is expected from you. Let alone what subject you should adress in work. This can be annoying if you're not used to it, but its best to think before you ask questions that are to general. Lectures will respond more helpfully if you can give some indication of what you're interested in, they may then guide you more than at first it seemed they were willing to.

The university offered us a Bus pass which was very good value. And england is often in general more expensive than germany I feel.

I recommend Bremen university, because it is academicly veried, and has a good cmpus atmousphere. Though maybe not a brash one.
