Tell us about the school’s environment (Facilities, faculty and staff members, students, etc.).
Campus Orientation
The University of Tübingen practically dominates the small town of Tübingen, so most residents can speak English, and the area is very safe. The library is large and beautiful. The faculty, staff, and students were all very welcoming and helped me a lot, for which I am very grateful.
Did you participate in any activities besides lectures and research?
The school organized hiking and rowing activities specifically for exchange students, and there were often parties in the dormitory. You can also use your holidays to travel to other cities in Germany or other countries in Europe.
What kind of impact or changes has your experience of studying abroad given you? (Finding a job, future vision, point of view, etc.)
Weekend markets in old town
During my exchange, I flew to the United States to attend a job fair and received an offer from my dream company. I believe this is strongly related to my experience of studying abroad. Through this exchange, I gained a deeper understanding of European culture and lifestyle, which planted a seed in my heart for potentially working in Europe in the future.
Please give some advice and message to the prospective students who are thinking of studying abroad.
