To which uni will you go in Germany, Fleece?

Reply 21

I'm not entirely sure...

This is the list I have to choose from:

Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg
Universität Dortmund
Universität Heidelberg
Universität Leipzig
Universität Tübingen

I've never been to any of these places so I don't know what they're like, but I was thinking Tübingen because I like the south and it's the only one in the south :-\ I dunno. Any help?!!

Yeah, Tübingen is cool, thought about going there, but opted for London in the end. Heidelberg is nice, too. Don't particularly like the other ones.

Woo. Might go for Tübingen as intended then. I had a brief look at the other unis online but none really tickled my fancy.

Although German uni websites don't quite depict much of the individual unis...

Que?

You won't get an idea what it is like at a university by looking at their website.

Yeah, but I can get a feel for a place. It's the only indication I'm going to have anyway, searching the web for info and pics. Worked for choosing the language school I went to so I'm hopeful.

Allright, and that's an important factor: if you're confident to have a good time, you'll have one.

Reply 29

Yeah

Just bit petrified of choosing wrong place and ending up somewhere I don't like :frown:

Hmm, yeah that's always a risc, but you can't eliminate it completely. Are you celebrating because Italy is world champion?

Reply 31

Haha yeah, i'm pleased for them, France only won it 8 years ago and they did play well.

Reply 32

Hmmm, France was better though and Italy kicked out Germany.

Wittenberg would be awesome if only to go to the same uni as Martin Luther and Hamlet :smile:

I might be going to reunion island for my year out! wow!

Wow!! That's a really really beautiful place.. you'll love it. It's actually my favorite place I've ever been to lol - been there twice (check the thread in Travel forum: What's your favourite country?) .. I just love everything about it. I've even decided that's where I want to go for my year abroad! (and I ain't even started uni yet!!)

Lol - I dated a girl from there this year ... it's French-speaking, right? She said it was awesome - you'll have fun.

Ye they speak French there. There's also another language - called Créole (le créole réunnionais) - which is a little bit like french, but sounds very strange lol. I can speak most of it 'cause I'm so into my Réunion Island! :p:

Jammertal I think Heidelberg's a beautiful place...although I'm not doing German. I'm doing French and would like to work in a school as an assistante I think, though I might change my mind...
