Why I think ESB is the right place to study

When I started at ESB my expectations were pretty high.  I had made a research about the university and found out about this cool IB programme which combined theory with a practical experience. Then I went through the whole admission process, which made me realize that the university has very high learning standards. So I had my reasons to expect the best.
They say : "dont expect high because you will be dissapointed". Well.. not this time. This semester was an amazing experience for me, as an international student.
It's even nicer than I expected. It's like when you buy a pizza and it looks good but when you try it,  it tastes even better.

Here are some reasons why :
First, let's start with the academic part

The professors are great and the information you learn is relevant in the business world. Maybe because our profs have worked on big companies and they know what skills we will need in our future work. Working in small groups of maximum 70 makes the learning more efficient and active process. We basically get involved in the class, answer and ask questions.

The International Business Fair which takes place every semester on campus gives you the chance to meet representatives from big international companies  such as Porsche, Daimler, Bosch or Deloitte. You also have the chance to find information about student jobs or internships.

The library offers all the necessary tools you need for learning. Computers, self and group study rooms and oh, those confortable seats :D. When the weather is nice you can study outside in the sun.

There are tutorials that students teach so if you are having trouble with math or microeconomics, don't worry that no one will help you out. Moreover, you can become a tutor yourself if you perform well in one subject.

And the more fun part...

You receive a warm welcome from the IB Vision and StuCo students. They make sure you feel integrated and have fun.
Everyday is a cultural rollercoaster. Talking to your friend from the other corner of the world while eating at the cafeteria and learning about his/ her habits just makes your lunch more fun.
ESB has it own spirit. You can become part of the IB Vision and StuCo student organisations and get involved in making the student life here more interesting and fun.
You don't have time to get bored. Reutlingen may be a small city, but if you have your party people with you, you can have fun practically everywhere.

If you have just been accepted at our university, you will have a blast for sure!
