Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
I recommend the university if you're looking for a theoretic and scientific form of education. If you're looking for more practical experiences, I wouldn't recommend the university. Moreover, the University of Regensburg has many different and very good language courses with mostly native speakers, so learning new languages is always fun, there.

I found the courses at my host university easier to follow, compared to those at my home university. All the professors were helpful and understanding. The method of examination was really different from what I was used to, and I found it more effective and even less stressful.
