Studying Abroad at WHU: Top 5 things

Hey everyone!
I recently studied abroad at WHU in Vallendar, Germany. These are just a few things that I felt were important when deciding to study abroad there. I will likely make a second video with another 5 things. Thanks for watching!

I just accepted an exchange offer to study at WHU Vallendar from January 2022, thank you for the information and positive outlook!

Hi @Klaudia, I also have WHU as an option for the exchange semester in January 2022. I think I'm going to put WHU as top two

Hey Grant! Thanks for your views to WHU! I am a student in my last high school year who might be planning to study abroad there, but there are very little reviews and experiences I can find online, so this video was very helpful! I wanted to ask some things that you hoped you might knew before coming to German and WHU in particular, as well as maybe some main issues and things you see which is quite lacking Also, I'd like to ask if there are part-time working chances there!

Hey! I'd highly recommend studying abroad at WHU, it was an amazing experience! Everyone there is very nice and welcoming and the orientation activities are great. I would say that some german language skills would be helpful but definitely not required (most of the workers at grocery stores speak minimal English). WHU is located in a small town but there is still plenty to do and it is in a great central location to travel to other large German towns (Frankfurt or Cologne). The school is a business school so the class offerings are mainly business so if you are not a business major, you might have some difficulty finding classes that will fit your needs. There are part-time working opportunities and internships available if you want. The school can help you find some!

Hey! Which classes did you take? :)

Hi Grant, I am an MBA aspirant and WHU is one of my dream schools to get into. I have around 4 years of work ex and am currently preparing for my GMAT, it would be really helpful if you could guide me on how to build my profile, a humble request. If there is a way I could reach out or email you maybe ? Also very curious to know more about your journey of the whole process of shortlisting and applying to the universities

Hey!! I’m planning to go to WHU for a semester abroad next spring (2023). I was wondering how the classes were set up (more exams or more homework…). Also, how was finding housing at WHU? Thank you!!

[@granthastings3064]

Hi! So classes are mainly project and exam based for grading. There is some homework but I would say there is not as much emphasis on that. Homework would mainly consist of reading things to prepare for the next class. I was able to get housing through WHU (they have lots of local options) and I believe that is what most study abroad students do. You don't have to find private housing, WHU has plenty of options.
