Students should be ready to quickly adapt to a new educational system, as the learning style can be very different.

It’s a great university. The city is quite small, but many larger cities are nearby and easy to reach.

Integration has been very difficult for me, particularly in the molecular biomedicine program. It does not feel like a very welcoming course for international bachelor students.

Finding accommodation is difficult, so it’s best to start the process well in advance before arriving in Bonn. German students are polite and respectful, but it can take time for them to open up and become friends. It is usually easier to connect with other international students. Take advantage of the many opportunities for socializing, such as those offered by the international office or the Erasmus Student Network, even if you are not an Erasmus student.
