My Erasmus experience in Berlin, Germany, by Isabella

How did you find living in Berlin? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

I grew up here. The city has everything. It is the greenest city in Europe but at the same time is very urban.

You can totally be yourself here. No one will judge you based on your appearance.

What is student life like in Berlin?

Diverse and international. Berlin doesn't really have a 'centre' but every district has it's own 'centre'. There is a real sense of neighbourhoods which makes it easy for people to find the perfect one for them.

What is the cost of living like in Berlin?

It's difficult to find accommodation but you'll spend a lot less on everything else. Entry into clubs is cheap and everything else is, too.
