Universität Mannheim
Universität Mannheim is an exchange destination for Utrecht University Bachelor and Master students of the faculty of Humanities in Mannheim, Germany.
"By staying in Mannheim you´re quite central in the south of Germany, since you can get to Switzerland, France and Luxemburg in two hours. Multiple beautiful cities are quite close and even the train to Berlin or München leaves from the Mannheim station. The city itself has some interesting bars, theaters and museums and ofcourse the rivers surrounding it" - experience from a former exchange student
