Freie Universität Berlin (FU BERLIN)

Berlin is very close to the borders with Poland, so it is a very nice opportunity to visit it!

In general, it'was a good experience. I like to meet people from Europe

Berlin has changed much since i was there, so i cannot really give you addresses or things like that (but when i went back 2 years later i still loved it!). It was not easy to get in touch with the local students, but there were so many Erasmus you could enjoy the opportunity of such a city with them!!!!

The homestay portion of the experience was designed to bring students directly into the host culture. Yet, as I stated before, my host family was not very social and did not make time to speak with me at length, which enabled me to go out more and speak with locals, which had its own problems. The majority of Germans speak some if not perfect English, thus attempting to practice with them was often futile. Ultimately, I feel that after four months in Germany, my language capabilities did improve.
