Study Abroad in Munich Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Some classes were well-taught and engaging, others not as much. This depended more on the professor than on what type of class it was (seminar or lecture).

On-site administration of your program

Administrative things are doable but hours are often limited for certain offices, and you have to be persistent in some cases. A few visits to various offices are necessary, and it's a good idea to plan in a couple extra days (to get additional documents, for example).

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Mix between a host family and apartment, lived with one other person as an "untermieter", sub-let I think in English. 20-30 minutes outside the city/university by subway. If I were here for longer I would find something different, but with limited time to look at and find somewhere to live, I was happy with this for 6 months. <br /><br /> Local 30-ish woman who worked (so neither student nor family).

Home=good, cafeteria=not so good, so in total average.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Took a while to meet people.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

I was a native speaker coming over, I used the language more over here but can't really comment on this. Most people speak German usually but could probably speak English if they had to.
