Registration for health cover in Germany, go to the AOK in Moltkestrasse before you register at the uni and get your papers, this costs you nothing with an E128 form. I didn't know that I needed to have this for registration and the guy at the registration office was pretty rude to me and sent me to the AOK and told me to come back the next day.

Get a "Bahncard" half price trains throughout Germany. In Italy use a Chilometrico Ticket, very cheap and you can travel for miles!

Nothing comes to mind.. Knowing about the 'Pfand' would have saved some embarrasment at the start, but that's all part of the experience!

There are many ways to get to Frankfurt depending where you are coming from. Closest airports are (in no particular order) Stuttgart, Strasbourg, Basel, Karlsruhe and Frankfurt. There are many low cost airlines flying to these airports. In my own experience coming from Ireland by far the cheapest and quickest way is Dublin-Frankfurt with aer lingus, and then the ICE train direct from the airport to Freiburg.

It is really a little city and I hadn't realised before I went there, that I would miss a big city so much.

At the University there are many language courses, that are not expensive. Profit the opportunity to learn languages!

The most comfortable to get there is take train from Basel (CH), but also from Stuttgart or even Frankfurt the connection is ok. If you want to spare some money there are always regional-tickets (around 23eur) or weekend-tickets (28eur), which are valid for 5 people. Travelling together can be fun and much cheaper:). Good coffee in MichelAngelo next to the UB. Buy or bring a bicycle, you will need it, but be careful, because very often bicycles are stolen.

“Great learning and living environment”
Andrew B
Germany, Graduate
Environmental Sciences, 2019
Overall
The university in Freiburg benefits from being in one of the best places I've ever lived or even been to. The atmosphere is great, there are many, many recreation options ranging from cultural events to outdoor activities. The university is very accessible with high quality staff and faculty. The programs are wonderful, incorporating many different methods of teaching and learning, not simply always sitting in lecture halls. The campus is integrated into the city so you don't feel isolated in some far of campus, making it easy to do errands, go out to eat, meet friends, and access everything needed for daily life.

“Great teaching and an example of efficiency”
Philippe R
Germany, Graduate
Sociology, 2022
Overall
My master is in Sociology and the courses were really interesting because the syllabus changed a bit to fit with the crisis we are living around the world. My teachers were really helpful and reasonable, always making sure that we understand how the university works and that we get the idea of the readings and the class. I really enjoy the debates and discussions we have during some of the classes with other students, because we get different points of view or different opinions according to the reality of each person and there are lots of international students (myself included).

Pros
The organization, the teaching, the methods used.
Cons
The online system could get a bit better and unified.
