Fachhochschule für Wirtschaft Berlin

don't just hang around with people you knew before you arrived. make the effort to speak German. If you don't, you'll regret it later when you're at home and its exam time, or else you'll regret it when you return to Germany in later years. the public transport system is easy to follw, maybe print off a copy of the map of Berlin, bus, u&s-bahns and trams before you arrive so as to familiarise yourself with your new home finally, speak to the students who were there in previous years, let them share their experiences with you and ask them any questions you feel might benifit you for your GFerman adventure.

I don't think it is usefull to sum up some tips or advices. That depends on the country the guest student is coming from. As an EU-student I didn't have much trouble at all. It is also very easy to find a room yourself in Berlin. The best thing to do, is have a look on the website of the FHW: www.fhw-berlin.de or contact the international coordinator at your home university

Berlin is awesome, one of the best places in Europe to be a student. Use schönes wochenende train ticket and travel around Germany. Follow up international office's travel arrangements and enjoy! Also eat lots of Döner and go to Pergamon Museum.

My stay in Berlin was absolutely fantastic and the best time of my life!
