Freiburg has become one of my favorite German cities. The authentic experiences, sunny weather as well as breathtaking nature made me want to stay longer :) Most of them are swiss, which leads to a problem that most of the classmates communicate in either french or italian instead of german or a more commonly-used language(english maybe) Depending on the teachers, class can be a little dull at times. In general it was a good experience though. Great place to live, kitchen is a bit small for a big cooking lover like me but other then that it was great :) The staff at the secretariat are angels.
