Schellhammer was not what I expected, and I mean this both positively and negatively. For starters, the school is situated on a hill with no access to public transportation, making it difficult and costly for pupils to participate in extracurricular activities. The teachers are wonderful, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoy their jobs because they connect with their students. Because they use a blended teaching method, classroom sizes are relatively large and many third-year bachelor’s students are in classes with master’s students. The school is quite international, with students from over 80 different countries. Because there are less events on campus for us to do, student life can be a little more intriguing.

Most of the teachers are real experts in what they teach. You connect with the field, and the assignments are different from just learning and writing stuff down. They really encourage you to make it your own.
