I was sharing this Airbnb with a friend but and it was really expensive for what is was. The problem is that in Frankfurt, everything was too expensive so at the end, I think this place wasn't a bad choice. For a a short exchange (max 6 month) I really recommend the long stay on with Airbnb, just make sure to book a long time in advance. https://www.airbnb.fr/rooms/1010107283297053492?source_impression_id=p3_1757289313_P3QXw-U43M6mZqq3
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Frankfurt is a great city with a lot of different activities to try, you can even go out a Frankfurt a lil' bit and discover some cute German cities, and that's even better if you go for a fall semester because you'll be able to visit the Christmas markets. In only problem for Frankfurt night life is the crackheads (you need to be extra careful around the main train station especially).
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
intercultural classes were great, the only thing is that I ended up a class with bachelor level even tough I was graduating a master degree
Do you have some tips?
The registration was easy. The campus was clean and modern but there isn't much to do around, it is very close to the city center though so no problem. I would pick the same uni, I would have just liked the schedule to be shared earlier with us to organise myself better because we really didn't had that much classes.
Best trips to do?
I've been to Heidelberg for the Christmas market 10/10 and not really far (can go by train easily from Frankfurt)
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Frankfurt?
Beer is life, food is expensive, and the most important thing is too stay away from the train station. be careful when you rent your location, it's sometimes cheaper around the train station area and there's a good reason
there's a nice Christmas market on the very last level of a parking lot with an incredible view of frankfurt. location : Parkhaus Konstabler
