Student Blog: Helen – “Spring in Tübingen & weekend break”

So– it’s been a while. My last post got lost in the computer system, which is why there’s been a break. However, I am evidently back again to tell you about the *cough* interesting weather we’ve had, and about the weekend trip I took to Berlin (and probably some other things too). Within the past… Continue Reading Student Blog: Helen – “Spring in Tübingen & weekend break”

Student Blog: Helen – “Goodbyes are the worst (why you should go abroad for a year)”

So, it’s been around a month since my last post; exams finished around two weeks ago (thankfully) and all the results I’ve got back so far have been good (this will change with the typology course, rest assured). Once exams had finished I spent a week in Tübingen with friends, meeting up, relaxing and trying to… Continue Reading Student Blog: Helen – “Goodbyes are the worst (why you should go abroad for a year)”

Student blog: Helen – “Winter in Tübingen (and how beautiful it is)”

A very late happy new year from Germany! I thought I’d do a bit of a catch-up post from the frosty land of Tübingen, before I properly put my head down to revise for the second lot of exams (how exciting), and the topic today is how *enter exclamative here* cold it is here. I’m… Continue Reading Student blog: Helen – “Winter in Tübingen (and how beautiful it is)”

Student blog: Helen – “Term differences and holiday plans”

Life definitely gets busy around this time of year (hence my lack of posts), and unfortunately it’s not just due to thinking about Christmas. Unlike last year at Lancaster, I haven’t got coursework as such to work on (though I did have a 30 minute individual presentation, *gulp*), rather I’ve just had one exam and… Continue Reading Student blog: Helen – “Term differences and holiday plans”

Student blog: Helen – “Just thought you ought to know”

The past weeks have been a blur (as is now becoming the norm), but I wanted to take a couple of minutes to fill you in on (some of) the things you ought to know before studying abroad- especially in second year! Administration abroad is not necessarily what you’re used to; here there isn’t really a… Continue Reading Student blog: Helen – “Just thought you ought to know”

Student blog: Helen – “Whirlwind – The first week”

As of today I’ve lived in Tübingen for a month, and the past two weeks have really flown. Classes (finally) started last week, and it’s safe to say that the extra weeks off will be quickly made up for! The workload here is definitely more than first year in Lancaster, but talking to friends from back… Continue Reading Student blog: Helen – “Whirlwind – The first week”

Student blog: Helen – “Reality check – Settling in and missing home”

Two weeks in and I feel like I’ve been here a month at least. This week, well, Wednesday to Saturday was the advisory course for international students on how to study in Tübingen; I think it was really great. There was a lot of getting to know new people (I finally met some other people… Continue Reading Student blog: Helen – “Reality check – Settling in and missing home”

Student blog: Helen – “A brief introduction”

Hi, I’m Helen and I’m currently studying English Language and Linguistics in Tübingen, Germany. As of this morning I’ve been here officially for a week and it has flown past; I’ve met both of my flatmates, some other Erasmus+ students/international students, and Katharina and Simon. Everyone seems really lovely and friendly so far, which is… Continue Reading Student blog: Helen – “A brief introduction”
