I wish I had known...

You have to be very determined to speak German as the English speaking population on campus is very high.

Take time to speak with your professors. The level of attention they give to their students in Germany is much higher than anything I have ever experienced in Ireland.

Improve the computer lab! :) At the time I was studying (winter semester 99/00) the computer availability was low and not completely satisfactory...

Final comments

I loved studying in Konstanz and I am sure you will too, especially if you like travelling around. Konstanz is truly located in the heart of Europe, although you have to go elsewhere (Zurich in Switzerland or Stuttgart/Frankfurt in Germany) to find a big international airport. Its closeness to Switzerland (15 mins with a bicycle!) makes it easy to go on short trips to this wonderful country and many others in Europe.

Final comments

Make sure you look into more scholorships. It is not good to struggle for money while you are there. You should allow yourself to be as free as possible with travelling and getting to know the country and are really well. I recommend staying for at least one year. Anything less than one year would not give you very much in terms of the language, culture, or personal development.
