Preparation
The planning, organisation and application to the host university was very easy. The program coordinators and international office of TH Rosenheim guided us through the whole process which helped us students a lot. I could not imagine having a better organisation for this program. Also the application for the Erasmus+ scholarship was really easy.
Accommodation
For this week in Zagreb a very central hostel was recommended to us. As we were a group of 6 people, we booked an Airbnb at the Ban Jelačić Square. We paid around 25 € per Person per night. It was a very big flat with a kitchen, terrace. It is separated in 2 bedrooms for 5 people in total and a couch for 2 people. I would highly recommend this flat as you can reach the Algebra University within 20 minutes by tram. Also a lot of restaurants and supermarkets are nearby. You can reach everything on foot. Also the host was a very nice and friendly person. The flat was cleaned in the mid of the week.
Study at the Host University
The university is a very modern and new university with great equipment. For lunch you can go to the canteen or also to the café opposite of the university building. You can reach the university by tram and afterwards walking for another 5-10 minutes. All of the professors and the students are very nice and you can learn a lot from them.
The program was very interesting as we were separated in groups with students from all the different universities. Belgium, Zagreb and Rosenheim.
The teamwork was amazing as we all had different backgrounds and knowledge. All in all this opportunity helped me to improve my teamwork skills, presentation skills and also the knowledge of metaverse.
Everyday Life and Leisure
Class started at 9 am every morning. So we had a very slow morning with coffee and small snacks from the bakery. After the first workshop in the morning we had a lunch break for around 1 hour.
In the evening we had dinner with students from all universities and afterwards we went to bars for a drink. The clubs were also very nice! On Wednesday we had a trip to a museum and a castle, organized by the host university.
For leisure time, you can walk to a river, go shopping or just sit in a bar. Within 2 hours you can also reach the sea. You can reach Zagreb either by car or by train and bus. Please note that you organize a parking slot for your car at the Algebra University in Zagreb in advance. We thought it is cheap to park in the parking garage but it is not. We recommend parking at the university for around 35 € for one week.
