Comentario personal
At first I found it hard to get my point across in most situations, but after the one month intensive language course offered by the univeristy, I felt I was able to communicate clearly and convey what I wanted to say.

Recomendaciones de cursos
I was in Sports Education, and I found the Sports Department to be quite realxed. Be sure to show up to the first day of class, even a bit early to be sure you get in. Also be sure to tell the professor you are an international student if they ask you to leave the class, as they usually will make exceptions to international students.

Make sure to keep up with the course work, and do not fall behind in the subject matter. It is really hard to study everything at the end of the semester be able to take a good test.

I spent more on travel in Germany as there was more opportunity to travel as well as more new, interesting things to see. I found that overall they cost of living in Germany was much less than in the States.

Comentario personal
I only had a few suprises like the semester ticket (a card you get for the semester that gets you on to the busses and trains in all of Hessen for free). A tip for Grocery Shopping: Go to Lidl Pennymarkt, or Aldi, they are very cheap grocery stores, and have the same quality as the name brands.

Valoración global
Si lo hubiera sabido...
Not really, I would say that for the most part Giessen is a pretty friendly city, the people were really helpful. Just study up on the German culture so you won't have any embarrassing situations.

Recomendación personal
As a Sport Sciences student I found all of the professors very helpful. If you have a question or need help with something, it never hurts to ask. You tend to have to throw yourself into the student culture to be able to get to know the German students, I found you have to go to them and introduce yourself, they will not usually come to you.

Comentarios finales
One thing I would say, is that even if you have a good knowledge of the language, attend the intensive language course offered by the AAA (Akademisches Auslandsamt), the people there are so nice and they will help you a lot. Plus you will make lifelong friends with the other international students there.
Other than that, travel as much as you can, use the Schoenes Wochenende ticket through the Deutsche Bahn, it is the best deal for the weekends. But definatly check out how you can use the different deals with the trains, and look at Ryan Air for travel to other European countries, it's really cheap.

Alojamiento
Tipo de alojamiento: Piso o apartamento
Organizado por: Universidad de intercambio
Si volviera, eligiría: Piso o apartamento
¿Por qué?
I would rather search for an apartment on my own, as my room was rather small, and far from the city.

Overall, I found the housing to be quite nice. I was in an apartment with German students, and that was very helpful.

Comentario personal
Ask the local students about the best Discos. I found Uhlenspiegel to be one of the best. Also you can get Hooka for 5 Euro on Wed. and Sun. at "News Cafe" in the Fussgaengerzone. One great cafe with reasonable prices is "Cult", a few blocks away from Galeria. Also look into the sports programs set up by the University (aHS). They have great programs and you will meet lots of really nice students.
