Campus & Social Life:
TUM has an amazing exchange student community. The ESN (Erasmus Student Network) organizes multiple activities each week, ranging from social events to cultural experiences. There’s also a one-week orientation program upon arrival, which was incredibly helpful for meeting new people and getting settled.

Personal Experience:
My exchange in Munich was an unforgettable experience. I traveled with my partner, Tal, and together we had an incredible time exploring Bavaria. The city is stunning, the people are friendly, and the atmosphere is fantastic. We traveled to Christmas markets, attended Carnival parades, and even ventured out to Vienna, Budapest, and Amsterdam.

Academically, I found the Deep Learning course particularly engaging, although the exams were much shorter and more intense than what we’re used to at Technion. Learning German was also a great experience!

Advice to Future Students:
I highly recommend this exchange! Munich is beautiful, full of friendly people, and offers so much to explore. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help!

Academic, & Social Life:
This exchange semester in TUM university was an amazing experience. During the exchange, I took interesting courses that aren’t offered in my home university. I explored Munich a lot, seeing first-hand what the city has to offer, including the beautiful nature, the amazing beer, the unique food and the deep history. I also explored a few countries nearby. During the exchange I met and bonded with a lot of people from all around the globe, and it was an experience I’ll never forget.

Advice to Future Students:
I’ll recommend planning trips ahead, maximizing the time you’re there and not missing key places and experiences. Moreover, I’ll recommend exploring the city and keep trying new things, instead of always returning to the same places with the same people.

Academic, & Social Life:
The semester was one of the most unique experiences I’ve had. It was a great opportunity to enjoy the life, the atmosphere and the culture of a completely different country. Munich was a lovely city with amazing lifestyle and people. Along with the fun from living in the city, I had a great academic experience, with interesting courses I took in TUM and the opportunity to study German professionally and to practice it in my everyday life. This semester also gave me the ability to travel freely across neighbouring countries in Europe, see beautiful views, do challenging hikes and visit places I never got the chance to go to.
The most important part of this experience was, of course, the people. I met a lot of amazing, kind people from many places around the world and many different cultures and had the opportunity the form genuine deep connections with them.

Advice to Future Students:
I recommend future exchange students to use this semester and try to connect with as many people as you can, travel to places you thought you’d never go to (take the FlixBus) and have fun to being outside your comfort-zone.
