In terms of living in a new country, everything else was fine as there is such a great community of other international students or local students willing to help or in a similar boat who make you feel welcome.
I genuinely enjoyed everything about my study abroad experience! From embracing the culture and the food to meeting new people from all corners of the world and making friends, to travelling in and around Germany, to exploring the world of design education from another perspective.
What I would say to someone considering studying this course and doing a study abroad is do it! You will not regret it so long as you make the most of it. Take all opportunities and just enjoy yourself!
