Now that I have settled in and started class's, I'm going to take the time to explain this beautiful Hochschule - the University of Applied Sciences.

The school has more than 9.000 students In its 3 campuses and it's located in the Rhineland-Palatinate region. The RheinMosel Campus was built in 1995 and sits on top of a hill surrounded by residential neighborhoods.

Thank You Hochschule for the wonderful Photos!

The school was built in 1996 and has today more than 39 degree paths for you bachelors. The Uni also offers 13 degree programs for Master students, along with 2 Fachhochschule certificates, and paths for Dual Studium (work and study program).

As you can see below the Hochschule has 3 campus's; RheinAhrCampus in Remagen, WesterWaldCampus in Höhr-Grenzhausen, and RheinMosel Campus in Koblenz. The establishment of the schools logo was a reason for this.

Many Students ask me Why Koblenz?

That I can answer easily answer due to the fact that I hand selected this school without the influence of friends, previous people attending, or the pressure of picking a partner school.

This was possible due to my dual citizenship of Germany and the U.S. Having this, allowed me to apply just about anywhere for the year while being a Freemover (Academic Mobility). This basically means I created my own study abroad program, along with finding my own living and traveling options.

The search to find the school was long and hard, but totally worth the effort!

I searched for a school that was smaller than the traditional University's in Germany, since many "Uni's" as they say over here are overfilled and would probably not give me the sufficient help I need to succeed. Further, I wanted a smaller town with enough locals that would teach me traditional German living. With Koblenz you have this and you have an amazing old town that has thousands of visitors come to visit each year. This city also has a great night life due to the many students from this Hochschule, the Volkshochschule, and the University Koblenz-Landau University.

Not only did I look at the city and school but also the degrees offered. I knew I had to find the right class's to bring back to finish my Major in International Business and Marketing, with my Minor in German. The Hochschule was a perfect match since they offered the exact same bachelors along with German Class's for their international students! If I had any complaints it would be that I'm a little further away than wished from Leipzig.

I'm enjoying everyday to the fullest thanks to interesting professor's and class's. The list of class's are below.
