Universität zu Köln (UNIKOELN)

The reason why I spent less on food is that this is generally cheaper than back home. My telephone bill also was reduced, mainly because most of the students found it a bit hard to speak German in the telephone. Accomodation is quite expensive in Cologne, especially when you want to live close to everything which I did. I also spent a lot on travelling because there is a lot to see in the middle of Europe.

Didn't get to see how germans live, no proper integration. You need to live with foreigners to understand their way of life.

The strategic courses I followed where really great. Also the course on Fast Moving Consumer Goods, which was facilitated by Henkel, was interesting. Further there was a german course on e-commerce which was really good.

Try to take also some german courses who are not an the CEMS programme. The level of the CEMS courses is not so high and there are very interesting german courses

I spent more on accomodation because the school did not find a place for me in a campus, but a room in an appartment, which is normally more expensive. The food is cheaper in Germany then in Denmark. The phone expenses were lower then in Denmark, as I used no mobile phone while I lived in Germany. The train prices are similar to Denmark, so i spent the same amount on travelling.

No, just experience it. You have to be well prepared of course!

Everything is very well arranged by the CEMS/PIM club. You will have a lot of fun and partying and the people living in Cologne are very friendly and open.

No, everything is very well organized at the university.

It would be great when a greater variety of CEMS courses could be offered
