The perfect city for erasmus: Experience in Karlsruhe

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

Six months. 250 euros per month.

What is the student lifestyle like in Karlsruhe?

Erasmus life in Karlsruhe is, in my opinion, perfect. The city is full of student residences that organize parties, events, and more. But there are also larger clubs available. The university has a very large campus where many festivals and events take place during the summer. Student life is, in my opinion, at the heart of the city, between a game of beer pong and a rave in the forest, you will definitely not get bored. Thanks to its strategic location, it's possible to travel quickly and economically to France, Switzerland, and other German cities.

During the first week, there is the orientation week organized by ESN (Erasmus Student Network). It's amazing, you will do beautiful things and meet hundreds of people. Don't miss it!
