1 Vic OE Evaluation Form A: Student Information VUW degree(s) BAS/M Arch (Prof) Major(s) Exchange Institution VUW Tri & Year of Exchange Architecture TUM (Munich) Trimester /2013 B: Finances Please detail your basic costs in New Zealand dollars. This will help future students plan their own budgets. (Enter your number rounded to the nearest dollar.) Books 100 Accommodation 4000 Return Airfare 3000 Local Transportation 500 Meals 1500 Visa 100 Health & Insurance 700 Personal Spending 5000 Communications (phone, etc.) Other fees (specify) What unexpected costs did you encounter? What items were more or less than expected? Further travel costs. How did your financial expenses compare to what you originally expected to spend? Probably spent about $3000 more than I expected. By what means did you maintain your finances? What would you recommend? (Credit card, foreign bank account, travelers checks, etc)? One travel card (use in any currency) for emergency use only What financial advice would you give students attending the same university as you? Open an account as soon as you arrive, minimize overseas transaction costs. What was the average cost of a can of coke or coffee in your host country? $6 NZD

2 C: Visas & Insurance *Please note this information is recommended by VUW students & current at the time of their exchange. For all up-to-date visa information you must check with the embassy/consulate of your host university. Did you have to apply for a visa? If so, was it difficult? What was the process, how long did it take and how much did it cost? Yes, once I arrived in Munich I went and applied for a study visa. It was time consuming (took 4 trips to the office to get the visa finalized). Do you have any advice for future students when applying for visas to your host country? Aim to sort it out as soon as you have settled into your flat/housing. Did your host university have a mandatory insurance? Or a particular insurance they recommended? If Yes, what was it and how much did it cost? My travel insurance was enough for the university. What insurance company did you use and would you recommend it to future students? House of travel organized my insurance. I would recommend your travel agent sorting it out as it is good knowing you only need one point of contact in an emergency. D: Academics at Host University Which courses did you take while on exchange? Please rate the difficulty of each course (1-5, 1 = Very Easy & 5 = Extremely Difficult) and leave any comments you may have. Course Title Language of VUW course VUW Rating (1-5) Comments Instruction equivalent or points/credits elective value VUW Trimester 1/YEAR Project 5 (Krucker/Bates) English Design 18 4 Short Design English/German Design 6 5 Figure Drawing German Beyond Urban Image English German German Munich Plan English VUW Trimester 2/YEAR

3 Academic Experience How did your academic experience differ from your time spend at Victoria? Did the academic experience meet your expectations? Made me appreciate the quality of most of the courses at Vic How did the style of teaching at your host university compare with that at VUW? How did the workload compare to what you would expect at VUW? The workload was definitely less, but we tried to choose easy courses as nothing was compulsory What would you recommend as an appropriate course load for other VUW students visiting your partner university? What specific courses would you recommend to visiting VUW students? Why? We were required to complete 30 ECTS because that is the equivalent to 60 points here. However, many of the staff at TUM were concerned that 30 is too much, and allow their own students going on exchange to study less credit than is usual to make the most of their exchange experience. What advice would you give VUW students about succeeding academically at your host university? Talk to the professor after class if you feel like you don t understand something the language issues create problems you don t even realize are there. What was your impression of the computer facilities, library, and internet access at your host university? Computers were not as readily available as they are here, and it was impossible to find sace in the library to study. If you went to a country where English is not the native language, how did you prepare for this? Were there any intensive language courses provided by the host university? I didn t study any German before I went but I wish I had. E: Accommodation What form of accommodation did you stay in? A flat with two Germans. What were the pros and cons of this form of accommodation? Expensive but warm, fun, authentic, easy to meet Germans instead of exchange students. What accommodation would you recommend to future students? Try to find a flat very difficult in Munich but worth it. How early can you move into accommodation? - What options were available for meal plans or cooking facilities? How satisfied were you with the food? Sometimes we cooked together, but mainly alone. Pot-luck dinners between flats were really fun.

4 If you lived in off-campus housing, how easy was it to find? What should future VUW exchange students know about living off-campus? Very easy, the u-bahn in Munich is great. Do you have any tips of advice for future students when applying for accommodation? Approach the TUM accommodation support people, and don t wait til you get there to start looking. G: Personal & Cultural Connections What was it like making friends? How successful were you at making friends with local (i.e., not international) students? Easy and fun. What was it like to adjust to the culture of your exchange country/university? Not hard, the German lifestyle isn t that different to ours. What, if any, cultural differences did you find particularly challenging? How would you recommend students to prepare for these differences? Germans can be very blunt try not to take them as seriously as they take themselves. What parts of the culture did you most appreciate? Attention to detail. How were you treated by local people? By university staff and faculty? By students? The same as anyone else. Generally the German students are very nice and helpful. Sometimes older Germans will get frustrated by your bad German. As far as you could tell, how easy would it be for students with disabilities to study at your partner university? For students who are visible minorities in your host country? For students who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered? I think all the people I met were very open definitely more than lots of people I ve met in NZ. Did you face any issues regarding discrimination in your host country? What were they, and what advice would you give to future students? I doubt there would be many issues with discrimination at TUM. H: Extra-curricular/Social Activities What organized activities (clubs, sports, etc.) were available to students? What extra-curricular activities would you recommend to future exchange students? TUM organizes trips for exchange students. I didn t go on any but maybe they were good. I would recommend organizing trips yourself and asking people from tutorials, especially other exchange students if they want to join usually lots of people are keen for a trip. What do you recommend other visiting students see or do on their weekends or holidays? Train around Bavaria for a day trip with friends. Amazing landscapes and cheap group tickets. What opportunities were there for students to work on-campus? Off-campus? I didn t consider working while I was on exchange. What volunteer or internship opportunities were there for students?

5 - 5 things to take to your host country or region 1 Power adapter 2 Disposable/film camera 3 A notebook and tape to stick all your tickets/photos/memories 4 Lots of money 5 Puffer jacket for winter, and sunglasses for all year. 5 pieces of useful advice would tell a VUW student going to your host university 1 Learn some German before you go 2 Take every opportunity you get to travel with new friends, especially to places you hadn t considered going to! 3 Keep learning German while you are there, and try to use it 4 Buy the things you really want you will regret not 5 Don t underestimate how great London is. Top 5 Things to do What are your Top 5 Things To Do future VUW students at your host university or city/country? 1 Have a picnic in the English Gardens 2 Take a train to Konigsee during the snowy months 3 Snowball fight/sled at Olympiaparke 4 Go to any/every concert/gig you can huge international bands are so cheap in Europe! 5 Oktoberfest I: Personal Experience Please write one paragraph about your exchange experience. Plus, don t forget to submit some photos to the exchange office!! My exchange experience was hindered by the fact that our faculty implied we would not be able

6 to continue onto our masters because of our time away. I felt that both the faculty and the VICOE office should have had a better understanding/experience of our degree requirements and the restrictions in course equivalents at our exchange university. I felt let down by both parties because we were not warned before we left of the possible implications of our exchange on our future studies. If someone had said that the exchange would affect whether I would be granted entry into the Masters of Architecture programme, I might have considered going. One of my fellow classmates and I spent weeks of our time away worrying about what was going to happen when we returned. The majority of the time my trip was great. My favorite part of the exchange was the travel I did, through Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Paris and England.
