Overall
I wish I had known...
I had been afraid of the language, because I only spoke basic German. But as it turned out, with a little bit work I learned it rather quickly.

This is definitely a university for people who don't like big anonymous universities. You will have to work hard for the academic part of your studies and on the same time will enjoy a lot of social life.

This is a very personal university, where it is very easy to get in contact with students and lecturers. They care for you and I found a lot of friends. The city of Remagen is rather small but you are in 20 or 30 minutes in Bonn, Cologne and Coblence.

Housing
Type of housing: shared flat with student
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I studied at RheinAhrCampus Remagen, a part of Fachhochschule Koblenz. In October 2004 opened a newly built dormatory. Would be good to be together all the time with many students.

Personal comments
The dormatory is completely new and well equipped. Costs are affordable. I will stay the next semester at Remagen, too and many of my friends will be living at the dormatory. To share a private apartment with other students was very comfortable, too.
