I am reaching out to you in this occasion, since I am already living in Mainz and wanted to share my first impressions of the city with all of you. Now… here’s the question… how did I ended up here?
Hello @germanizers!
I- The Hochschule Mainz (University of Applied Sciences in Mainz) offers a interesting degree called “Zeitbasierte Medien”, also known as “Media Design” or “Mediendesign”. I have been interested in audiovisual content since time immemorial, so that was one of the reasons of my decision.
II- Mainz has many cities nearby e.g. Frankfurt + Frankfurt’s Airport is just 20 minutes away from Mainz.
III- Mainz is a pretty city suitable for students! (Germans + Internationals)
First Impressions:
-Mainz is a kind of hipster city full of conceptual stores and pastel-coloured buildings.
-The Erasmus in both the JGU and in the Hochschule Mainz create a comfy international atmosphere.
-There are bikes all around the place here!
What’s going on:
- I am already settled in the Studentenwohnheim in Mainz after being overwhelmed by the responsibilities [the perks of living in an “Einzelapartment” ] mentioned by the “Haustutor”.
- We, the students of Media design, were introduced to the University with the Welcome Week; a week full of activities and workshops.
- A boat party will take place on Saturday!
Wish me luck,
Andres.
