Universität Hannover reviews

I recommend that the university reach out more to its international students and guide them into the German way of academics.

Just relax and calm down. All the paperwork is hard to do, but finally everything is ok

This is an excellent university, and I recommend it to anyone.

There is a different philosophy in Germany regarding academics than in America. Lectures are sometimes very large, and students are required to be more independent than in the United States.

As an American undergrad, I am used to a centralized campus with student life facilitated and promoted by university offices. The visible signs of university life are absent in Germany; there are no university gift shops with t shirts of the school, for instance. There are also few official university sports teams. Historically, German universities are decentralized and students do not celebrate their mutual university affiliation as in the United States. If I could make any one suggestion, it would be to promote a sense of community on campus.
