Regensburg is a city located in the South of Germany. Teeming with breathtaking architecture, it has an old centre and its cathedral is a UNESCO world heritage site, there is also a castle where the royal family lives. Food wise, brunch is very popular, especially foods like white sausages, pretzels and sweet mustard. During summer nights, people hang out around the island and listen to music. There are two universities in this city: University OTH Regensburg, an extremely vast university for applied sciences including 8 faculties that was founded in 1971; and the University of Regensburg, with 11 faculties and 22000 students.
Students choose to come to Bilbao because they get to see what they have studied being applied in practice, as well as allowing them to get to know everyone due to its small size. Erasmus is an opportunity which we must take hold of to obtain a unique life experience.
