The past 6 months have been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I explored many countries, built friendships across cultures, joined amazing projects, and gained perspectives that change me forever. It’s also a time I learned so many new things: bouldering, dancing, theatre, and German. None of this would have been possible without the Weltweit scholarship and the International Office’s kind support. For sure, Augsburg will remain a warm home and a special place in my heart!

My semester in Augsburg could not be described as anything other than perfect. The experiences I had as an exchange student, both academically and personally have forever changed the way I see myself in the world. The care from the University’s WeltWeit team and the friendships I made were crucial for my amazing time in the city.

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.
