Erasmus Experience in Heidelberg, Germany by Luísa

Would you recommend the city and the University of Heidelberg to other students?

Yes I would. It's a small, but really nice city with lots of historical buildings. You also have the river and the two mountains. The city is safe and not very crowded, unless you go to the main street in the Old Town, but that is to be expected.

Did it cost you to find your accommodation in Heidelberg?

Yes it did. I had a hard time finding accommodation. I started to look for accommodation 2 months before coming to Heidelberg. I contacted more than 50 adds and didn't get an answer in most of them. I only found out permanent accommodation two months after I came here. So my advice is that you should start looking as soon as possible because the demand is really high.

How much does it cost to live in Heidelberg?

I would say 500-600 €.

What's the easiest or most economical way to travel to Heidelberg from your city?

From my city is by air plane.

What good cultural sites are there to visit?

The castle and the University museum.
