The Good & the Bad - what did you like best? What least?

The activities were very cool, some of them didn't take place due to some problems but it happens. I liked how much independence we had on this camp. It felt like being treated like a real adult for the first time and it definitely was one of a kind experience. The lessons were also very interesting and it wasn't just conventional learning, we made films, presentations, listened to songs that I still listen to even when I'm back. The location of the campus is very convenient. There are a lot of shops nearby and restaurants with tasty food everywhere.

I didn't like only a few small things. There was a lot of people smoking everywhere: on campus and on trips. Also the amount of flies and fruitflies in the cafeteria was too large and they would often get stuck in the food that was displayed.

Your recommendations for other students

First of all, I would recommend everyone to go, because you can get a lot of experience by being without your family in another country. But other than that:

-if you don't like parties and staying up late, bring earphones that you can sleep in because it's often quite loud and people can come back to their rooms very late at night and wake you

-take part in activities, because they are usually a lot better than it may appear and allow you to see places in Berlin for free

-taste many new things like Currywurst or some German products in the shops because it's a great opportunity
