Hessen, Germany

The Program

STUDY IN HESSEN!
The Hessen-Wisconsin exchange offers the opportunity to become an exchange student at one of the ten universities in Hessen. If you are an independent student with strong German language skills, this exchange gives you the opportunity to truly immerse yourself in the life of a German university student.

LOCATIONS
The University of Wisconsin System and the ten universities in the German state of Hessen are partnered in a unique, state-to-state exchange program. Through this program, UW-Eau Claire students may attend universities and/or Fachhochschulen (universities of applied science) in:

Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Fulda, Giessen, Kassel, Marburg or Wiesbaden

More information on each institution is available at: http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/CIE/Hessen/gallery.htm

HOUSING & MEALS
Housing options vary somewhat by campus, but in general, you will live in a single room in a University residence hall. There are bathrooms, showers, and a kitchen on each floor. Inexpensive meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are available in the university cafeteria (“Mensa”), or you can shop and cook for yourself in the residence hall. The kitchen tends to be a general gathering place for everyone on the floor, so if you cook for yourself, you'll have the chance to meet other students in a small setting.
