Information on BU The BU campus stretches along the Charles River. Unlike many other American universities, however, it is not a traditional campus: the main buildings of the university are all along one street, Commonwealth Avenue. All the important buildings of the university are located on this street: all lecture rooms, food court, libraries, the university’s own bookstore, fitness center, etc. Approx. 30,000 students study at the BU. The semester at the BU starts with an orientation day for all…

Education: After completing my main studies in my business administration master’s degree, I went to SDSU or San Diego State University as detailed on ehuacom. The first question that arose for me was which courses I should take (and also be offered) at the SDSU in order to complete my studies in Germany. The SDSU internet portal, which includes all courses, provides an initial overview of the wide range of offers at the SDSU. Just go to the SDSU web…

Spending the semester abroad at HPU was one of the best decisions I have ever made. After completing a semester abroad at San Diego State University in 2007, it was clear to me that I would like to take this opportunity again. As I did then, I turned to ehuacom to keep my organization as simple as possible and to have a contact person at all times. Everything worked very well and without any problems. Everything worked out pretty quickly…

As a disclaimer: Since I was a minor during my two semesters at CSUSM, my experiences are probably a bit different from those of the others who did a semester abroad there (driver’s license, etc. ). But that doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t necessarily recommend a semester abroad at CSUSM! See more information on ehuacom. Accommodation After thinking about which of the host families offered by Homestay I should choose, I found accommodation with a Persian host family, who gave me…

Application process My sister has been studying at UCLA since March 2016 and was originally only planning a vacation in Los Angeles. However, at the beginning of April I spontaneously decided to do a semester abroad. For me, of course, only Los Angeles and the surrounding area were considered for study. I was then made aware of the MicroEDU by my sister and a friend, both of whom were referred to CSU Fullerton in 2013 through MicroEDU. Since I am…

Where did i live How did I get the accommodation? The Monterey Bay campus offers a variety of accommodation options. Many apartments are in close proximity to the lecture buildings and the library. The East Campus, which houses most of the international students, is approximately 3 km away. The own bus line (26 East Campus Express) commutes between Main Campus and East Campus every 20 minutes. The East Campus is divided into smaller streets and all students live in row…

1 before 1. 1 Why USA? Why Fullerton? It quickly became clear to me that I wanted to go to an English-speaking country in order to be as confident as possible in terms of language and to be able to apply and deepen everything I had learned in recent years. Since the first hurdle in the decision-making process was cleared, the next step was to find the right “place”, the right country and thus the right university. The USA as…

I spent the 5th semester of my bachelor’s degree at California State University Chico in the winter. The main reason for my choice was the fact that comparatively few international students study in Chico and that I was less tempted to speak German all the time. Chico is a small but nice student town with around 80,000 inhabitants, so everything can be reached by bike in a very short time. Accommodation I stayed with a host family who were really…

Candidature It is usually recommended that you apply approx. 10-12 months before the start of your studies abroad, so that there is enough time to organize. I recommend this to everyone! My plan was to study at UCSB in the Fall Quarter 2018 (starting September). Since I only had a response from RWTH in January 2018 that I did not get a place as part of a partnership, my application process began quite late. However, it was already clear to…

California was my dream destination for my semester abroad and my decision finally fell on San Diego. Apartment Search An accommodation on-campus is not provided for international students. If you want to book from home, Kamo Housing (Bay Pointe Apartments in Pacific Beach) or Anatolia Housing (Costa Verde Apartments close to the university) are ideal. In addition to standard apartments, both also offer a gym and pool . A lot of international students lived here, so they often came to…

Because I registered relatively late and was interested in UCLA, it was almost impossible to get a visa in time. I almost had to give up on my dream, but then a CC employee found another option. I had to completely change my choice of course, but that turned out to be a relief in America. The trick was I was only allowed to take a maximum of eight units, because then you don’t need a visa. I can only…

Many testimonials are general and read like stories. They are certainly more timeless than this one. I would like to give a specific one that addresses many of the questions I asked myself at the beginning. Course choice: Was it really that difficult? Often it seems hopeless to get into a course at the beginning, but the time to crash seems to me more than enough. Sports courses: Highly recommended, especially the water sports on offer, the trainers are very…

Preparation The preparation went as smoothly as possible, only obtaining the confirmation of the available capital, which was required by Cal State, took some time at the Sparkasse. Otherwise, your website was very helpful with this. Book the flight earlier rather than later and arrive a little earlier than necessary, this makes settling in and looking for an apartment easier. Under no circumstances do the search for an apartment in advance, of course do not make advance payments or believe…
