Erasmus Experience in Heilbronn, Germany by Dejana

Why did you choose to go to Heilbronn, Germany?

I study Tourism and in my country people who are working in tourism sector have to know German. So I wanted to learn German. And why Heilbronn, because it is in the south of the country and my University had also contract with some university on the north of the Germany but I didn't want to go there because it is to far and too cold for me.

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

I'm staying here for the whole year, so 2 semesters. For my stay here I need to receive 4300 euros. I'm staying here for 10 months which means that every month I receive 430 euros. Before I came here I received 80% of the whole amount (3440 euros). The rest 20% (860 euros) I will receive when I come back to my country and if I pass all my exams.

What is the student lifestyle like in Heilbronn?

Atmosphere here is great. Students can really easily learn languages. Here are a lot of classes in German and in English and they are really interesting.

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

Yes, I recommend them. If you come here, you will learn a lot. You will learn German, you will learn English and theory according to your studies. If you come here, you definitely won't regret.
