Definitely studying in another country is quite a challenge, starting because you have to learn to organize yourself, it has been an incredible experience. At first I thought that my biggest obstacle would be the language, but as the semester went by I realized that the language worked in my favor, it was not as difficult as I thought and studying in English helped me improve my language skills. The methodology is different. Each teacher chooses how to evaluate their students. For example, I had a teacher who after each class assigned us to do an essay on the analyzed paper, in addition to class participation having a greater weight than the essays. Another teacher did not take any exam, but gave us group work throughout the semester, which helps the student learn to work better in a group.
I really liked the FH facilities, it was very modern and suitable for the races it offered. I had a very pleasant university life throughout the semester; Most of my classmates lived in the same place as me, so we would get together to study or advance work assigned to us.

All teachers are highly qualified to teach the subjects, and are usually quite didactic. The registration process is very different from what many of us are in, although with the help of my coordinator I was able to resolve my doubts. The registration system upon arrival allows you to have a better idea of the courses to be validated, most of them elective courses. They are those that are most similar to those offered by the University of Piura and these are published a week before the trip. On the other hand, the subjects at HFU have a flexible schedule. My personal experience has been very positive, I have managed to become a more independent person throughout my exchange, meet many incredible people from different parts of the world, which opens many doors for me for the future. The maturity that one gains during the exchange period is incredible and it is something that has served me well.

Germany is a modern country where most, if not everything, works perfectly, procedures, transportation, facilities, etc., especially the university facilities are comfortable. As for the people, the majority speak English and are very friendly, so if you have questions, do not hesitate to ask anyone.
