    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!
