University of Giessen - JLU (reviews)

Justus Liebig University is the perfect university for international students who’ll come to Germany for the first time. The university is in Gießen which is a small student city where you can get adapted to Germany. JLU provides the best education you can get while living your best student life! The professors and the staff always tries to help you and give you the opportunity to achieve more. The campus is scattered around the city but you can go from one campus to another in less than 10 minutes by bike as it is a small city. This aspect might be scarry to some students as small cities are often described as boring but Gießen is nothing alike. You can go to many pubs and cafes during winter and you can enjoy the festivals and the lakes surrounding the city woth your friends in the summer. As I’ve mentioned before, it is the perfect city and the university to live the best student life!

As a student at the University of Giessen, I’ve found the experience both enriching and transformative. The university’s commitment to academic excellence is evident in its diverse range of programs and world-class faculty. Whether you’re studying natural sciences, social sciences, or humanities, there’s a wealth of knowledge and resources at your fingertips. The campus itself is vibrant and modern, with state-of-the-art facilities that support both learning and research. While the workload can be demanding, the quality of education and the opportunities available make it all worthwhile. The city of Giessen itself is charming, with a rich history and a welcoming atmosphere. From its bustling market squares to its quaint cafes, there’s always something new to discover.

Although my college life started during the pandemic and almost everything is online, the uni is doing its best to make its students feel included. Orientation week was helpful, online events are held by the student council every now and then. My study program is quite flexible, you can manage your own schedule and choose your modules.

I like it that it is very easy to come in contact with other students. I don’t like the infrastructure of the university as the facilities because nearly nothing is renewed or modern. What I like about the university is that it’s kind of familiar.
