Hello, my name is Mariami. I'm  from Georgia

2
00:00:08.949 --> 00:00:14.510
and I'm studying architecture in the 5th semester.
I came

3
00:00:14.689 --> 00:00:17.565
to Germany a few years ago for  personal reasons.

4
00:00:17.649 --> 00:00:21.086
I always wanted to study architecture,  so
I

5
00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:25.256
asked my friend and did some research on the
internet

6
00:00:25.340 --> 00:00:29.795
and the FH had a good reputation,  so I

7
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.445
decided to apply here. What I really like about
the FH

8
00:00:33.529 --> 00:00:37.326
is that the professors give us a  lot of freedom.

9
00:00:37.409 --> 00:00:41.816
For example, we can design  many modules

10
00:00:41.900 --> 00:00:45.939
and plan our projects in such a way that we

11
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:50.500
are allowed to think without limits. I really
like

12
00:00:50.619 --> 00:00:55.055
the Dortmunder U. You can visit some really
nice exhibitions

13
00:00:55.139 --> 00:00:59.636
there if you're interested. I can also recommend
a café:

14
00:00:59.720 --> 00:01:04.000
Grüner Salon in the Nordstadt. We often go
there also with my parents

15
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.000
when they come here, and the

16
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.000
city itself is also very nice. What I particularly
like about the FH

17
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.000
is that our professors are nice and kind.

18
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.000
I also like that we can flexibly arrange our
timetables,

19
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.000
and thirdly, there's our KostBar, where you
can eat

20
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:29.000
delicious food at a reasonable price. For
international students,

21
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:35.000
FH Dortmund offers good services, such as the
Buddy Program, where first-semester

22
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.000
international students receive support from
students

23
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.000
in higher semesters. They can assist with things
like planning their schedules

24
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.000
and how to ask questions to professors, for
example.

25
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.000
What I can recommend about the university is
that students

26
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.000
here get real freedom. As I mentioned before,

27
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.000
you can freely arrange your schedule and

28
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:03.000
also enjoy your life and meet new,  interesting
people.
