Linguistics, Undergraduate, University Agreement
Overall
I wish I had known...
EICHSTAETT IS A BIT ISSOLATED. THE VILLAGE IS LOCATED ON A REMOTE TRAIN LINE WHICH ONLY RUNS A FEW TIMES A DAY (EICHSTAETT IS REALLY THE END OF THE LINE...) RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE WHO REALLY WANT TO EXPERIENCE SOUTHERN GERMANY CULTURE WITHOUR DISTRACTIONS. *** I HAVE NO REGRETS CHOOSING EICHSTAETT **** THE STUDENTS FROM ITALY THOUGHT EICHSTAETT WAS COLD.

FLY TO MUNICH OR NURNBERG GERMANY INSTEAD OF FRANKFURT. ONCE YOU ARE IN EICHSTAETT - PURCHASE OR BORROW A BIKE FROM THE DORMATORY - IT WILL HELP ASSIST GETTING AROUND. HAVE FUN!

Personal spending habits
Life costs in this little town were lower than in my city in Italy. Rents are lower in Germany than in Italy. Disco's entrances costed 2,50-5,00 euros compared to the expensive costs of 12-16 euros in Italy. Beer costed the same as water with discounts for students, but people prefered drinking tap water.

Food:

Travel, Nightlife, Telephone, Housing, Overall:
was less expensive than at home.
Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
Copies for academic books were expensive, you couldn't copy an entire edition because of author's rights. Academic books were also very expensive but not always demanded from professors who gave students lots of slides and copies to study.

Don't think a little town could be boring because in Eichstaett you will find everything that you need and people who can help you everywhere if you try to be kind and polite like german people! Don't break rules, because the Germans could be very strict with people that don't respect contracts or accomodation rules.

Course recommendations
TAKE THE EASIER ONES FIRST. THEN BUILD UPON THIS FOUNDATION. EVERYTHING IST AUF DEUTSCH - SO YOU NEED TO BE FAMILLIAR. IF YOU HAVE ZERO EXPERIENCE WITH GERMAN, THEY HAVE A CLASS FOR BEGINNERS.

BECOME FAMILLIAR WITH THE EUROPEAN STYLE OF INSTRUCTION - LECTURES - SEMESTER PROJECTS - OPEN DISCUSSION - -- IT WAS A BIT CONFUSING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WERE TO BE TESTED ON - AND THE EXPECTATIONS FROM PROFESSORS.
