Student review [#10803] for Law
at University of Cologne - UZK

In this review, I will point out some maybe a bit more negative points but also add solutions to them for students. The University of Cologne is well known in Germany. It gives you good career options. There are many Erasmus students every semester and the city is known for being a city for students. This is obviously cool – but there are some things that might be good to know before attending the University. First of all, the online system with which students sign into the University, into their courses and sign up for exams, get their grades back is called Klips2.0. This online system is old and very complicated. I would recommend to take care of registrations as soon as possible to avoid last minute stress. Also, you can always contact AEGEE-Köln in case you need a little help _A second good thing to know is that with Hochschulsport, every student can attend a big variety of sports courses in a lot of different sport types in gyms all over Cologne. I highly recommend going to the internet site of „hochschulsport köln“ to see the program and join the courses. Sports is important. Thirdly, I would recommend to join a student association to meet people. You can inform yourself even before arriving to Cologne. Of course, a good assocation is AEGEE-Köln. Why join directly? Because Cologne is quite a big city and the University is big too. Many classes take place in big rooms. I think that it makes things a lot easier to meet people by attending meetings from student associations. Also, there is a facebook group for erasmus students, where you can see when and where parties take place. The best thing is to attend them early in the semester. Overall, I had a good experience at the University of Cologne and could really feel the student-spirit when I lived there for my studies.
