Spending a year as an exchange student at Augsburg was the best decision I've ever made. Making friends with international students, immersing myself in the local culture, exploring the city's unique events, and managing everyday life in a foreign language, every moment shaped a brighter and more resilient version of myself. A sincere thank you to the WeltWeit Team for being so supportive and for providing us with crucial information ahead of time, making our exchange experience much easier.

This semester as an exchange student taught me a lot about other people and especially about myself. I had the opportunity to study with personnel who are experts in their area while also travelling around Germany and its big cities. I would not ever regret doing this semester in Augsburg as it is truly a charming place filled with nature. Sadly everything must end, but I will always cherish the lessons and experiences at the University of Augsburg.

Studying in a foreign country is undoubtedly an extraordinary experience, which can be challenging but also extremely rewarding. Thanks to the support of the International Office, I felt well taken care of. I loved studying in the charming town of Augsburg, as it offers all the advantages of a big city, while providing a more personal aspect that only a smaller town can offer. My two semesters in Augsburg are memories I'll never forget, as are all the wonderful relationships I forged.

People always say that studying abroad is an unforgettable experience. Although it is cliche, I could not agree more. My time at the University of Augsburg has created some of my fondest memories. I’ve met amazing friends, traveled to unique places, and took courses that interested me. I will be devastated when I have to say goodbye to this beautiful city, the University, and the people, but I am already looking for ways to get back in the future!

My experience in Augsburg was, without any doubts, beyond all my expectations. Even though it is not a very big city, there is always a lot to do here. I learned a lot and made many friends from different parts of the world. It was a mix of cultures clashing and a world of new experiences that made me fall in love with the city and the country. I can say that now I’m a new person and I will always remember with great affection everything I lived here and I hope to return soon. Thank you, Augsburg!

I spent six months in Augsburg doing my exchange and I can say it was worth it. The university helped me to strengthen my research tools and German language skills. Both the city and the international relations office of the university are responsible for offering many events and activities for students. It is an awake city! As a student you have many facilities, transportation is free and there are many discounts. In addition, the scholarship was a great help.
