I chose the University of Mannheim because it offers an excellent Psychology program in English. It also has a gorgeous campus and provides the unique opportunity to attend courses in a palace. The two best experiences I’ve had so far were my first evening in Mannheim on the one hand – I went out for drinks with a couple of friends and tried German beer for the first time – and a trip to the Black Forest on the other. Meeting new people was a lot easier than I had expected. My roommates and I became friends in no time and I got to know many other students through VISUM, a student organization.
