Course recommendations

The courses in general are pretty good, and the classrooms are very small so there aren't many students in one lesson, so you can have a close relationship with the teacher. The only think I don't like is the organisation in the International Relations Office, they are such a mess!

Kufstein is the best place to come if you speak good English and also a bit of German because you'll be able to practice them. But it's not a good place to learn English from the bases and to learn German neither, since here they speak a dialect which is hard to understand. But if you have a knowledge of both languages you won't have any kind of problems and you'll improve both.

it's a great life experience! living with students coming from all around the world it's simply fantastic! meet so many different cultures and discover that sometimes they are so close! living together like a big family, having problems like a big family, solve them like a family... the very best experience in my life!

Personal comments

it's a very good accomodation. we have our private room with internet access (LAN) and TV. it's wonderful to share a common space like our cafeteria with the other students (iternational and austrian ones): that give us the possibility to meet each other, spend time together, cooking together and studying together... as I already said, the very best experience in my life!

The German language teacher was really bad. She only wrote words on the board. We did not learn to use those word. So if you want to learn German, you have to do it somewhere else than in a FH Kufstein class room
