Student-Staff relationship

As far as universities go I think EU business school comes first in terms of student-staff relationship. Every member of the staff I have encountered has been more than helpful. What i think should improve as even tho its not connected to my previous point is I think the school should have more leniency towards tuition payment specially to international students because we are here despite the challenges of having to find willing banks to exchange local currencies to Euros.

Nice choice for studying

Very famous university in Germany with strengths in both humanities and natural sciences. One can feel a very harmonious academic atmosphere here. Very systematically structured subject modules are offered, and practice and theories are linked and well balanced. However, in some courses, you have to study very hard because they are very demanding. Unfortunately, if you want to complete a master's degree within 4 semesters, you don't have much time for your private life. However, you have a lot of freedom, you can decide when and what you want to study, and many options are open and flexible. The lecturers and professors are always very helpful, you can always turn to the carefree, both about the study, as well as about student life. A bright library is available where you can find everything you need. The internationality and interculturality are, in my opinion, the highlight of this university: students and teachers come from all over the world and speak different languages, and everyone is welcome. The campus is not very modern and big, but the equipment in the lecture hall can usually support the learning process well. You can study here smoothly quietly, but not much else - since the city of Göttingen is quite small and boring. With the semester ticket at a high price, you can still unfortunately not reach many interesting cities. The food in the refectories is also only to cope with hunger. The apartment search is a very big question, but that is not only something specific in Göttingen. Many student jobs and internships are offered at the university, but you can also easily find opportunities on the job market. I can't comment much on careers at the moment because I haven't graduated yet. On the whole, I would recommend uni göttingen to others, because I like life very much - it is also fun when you can find the solution to overcome various difficulties yourself. Don't worry about the boredom, it's a student city, after all, and you'll definitely get your friend zone;)

The cultural mix and the great atmosphere.

I loved being at Schiller in Heidelberg. The setting and the city were very serene and the exposure to all those students and teachers from such different and diverse backgrounds was a great learning experience. Additionally, the ease of accessing the Schiller campuses in the other countries was a great additional bonus to studying at Schiller. I would most definitely recommend Schiller to other students who are looking for a very culturally fulfilling experience.

Great modern university approach

I am currently a 3rd year student at Forward College and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to other students. The interactive approach of Forward where questions, debate, and discussion were encouraged enhanced my learning so much and I feel like I genuinely enjoyed every class. Having the experience of living in 3 different cultures, surrounded by people from all over the world made this experience even more special and helped me develop and grow in so many ways. Another aspect I have loved are the professors. Speaking with friends at other university I am so grateful to have teachers that actually know us, are excited to teach and interact with us, and will always take the time to help you.

Best Varsity

This was the best Varsity ever. The professionalism is on the high level. I have no dislikes and I highly recommend it to people who are struggling with focus. It's takes special students with disabilities.
