Personally, I was very lucky when it came to accommodation and managed to find an apartment after a 2 days of being in the city, but you might want to check on the internet before you go.

Berlin is an easy place to adapt to and it has a great ambiance. It has the perfect mix of student life and native contact. I can't think of a more vibrant, modern european city today.

If you have the opportunity to go to a city like Berlin take it. There is so much to do and if you take every opportunity both socially and academically you will have an incredible time. One piece of advise I would give is on arrival at your host city take up as many hobbies, join societies, speak to as many poeple and get as involved as you can, as it will help you settle in and set the pace for the rest of the year.

“I enjoy it - but it can be sometimes confusing to navigate”
Sylvia S

Environmental Sciences, 2022
Overall
I enjoy the program. I feel it is somewhat flexible so that you are able to focus on what you would like, however it can be confusing to navigate requirements and the downside is that there may be some required courses that are not so applicable to your interests.
