Natalia De La Torre
ESIC Business & Marketing School Madrid, Spain

"What I liked most about the classes was the professional experience of the teachers, and also that the classes were very practical. Augsburg is a very beautiful city; it is neither too big nor too small, just the perfect size. During my semester abroad, I would like to highlight the multicultural environment at the School of Business. You get to know a lot of different cultures, which is an amazing experience."

"I really enjoyed being in an environment full of international students. I felt at home and accepted by everyone. Many thanks to my fellow students for integrating me! We have made friends and had a lot of fun together - I even found it easy to study for the exams and prepare presentations in a team.”

Claire de Bruyne
Université Catholique de Lille, France

"I absolutely loved discovering typical German events, like the Oktoberfest, the Christmas market, the Plärrer, the Sommernächte … You get to discover new ways of celebrating things, and it is even better with friends on your side. You really feel „in“ the German culture, and I had so much fun!“

Angela Petrosillo
Università degli studi di Modena, Italy

 

"I fell in love with the buildings, the colours, the big green spaces and most of all the typical Bavarian dress, the Dirndl and Lederhosen. I loved the Oktoberfest, even though I am not the biggest fan of beer. It was the best experience of my life. I learned a lot, from life lessons to the real class lessons. I travelled, I visited, I made friends, I lived a life that I wasn’t living before. I feel that I’ve grown up so much because of this."

"Five months where I met people from all over the world, discovering new cultures and countries. I had to get out of my comfort zone and become very independant. I really enjoyed to live alone for the first time and just rely on myself. I grew up so much and I am so glad to take part in this amazing experience."

"I like how it’s clean and safe compared to other cities. I’ve been to lots of cities in Germany but I’d say Augsburg is one of the cleanest and safest! DEDE Café and my room are my favourite places in Augsburg. I spent my time in DEDE Café with friends and also cooked and had fun in my room with friends, too. Memories there are my favourites."

“The people in Germany are much nicer than I have expected. Bavaria is much more welcoming than what I thought it would be. Courses here are more theory-based and exam-driven. Teachers are being engaging, helpful and I am learning a lot…”
