I attended University of Mannheim as an exchange student in Spring 2019. I had a very positive experience overall. The range of courses is impressive: I liked the practical nature of many courses like Stats in R, Behavioral Economics, Impact Evaluation along with some theoretical ones such as Environmental Financial economics. The campus is nice with early 19th century baroque palace serving as the venue for a lot of classes and a world class library. The city itself doesn’t have much to do except a few nice bars and clubs at night.
