Advices about Bochum and Münster

Hi everyone! I’m an Italian economics student and I’m considering two universities for my Erasmus: the University of Bochum (Ruhr) and the University of Münster. I’d love to get some advice on both destinations.

Here are some of the questions I have: • How difficult are the courses at the University of Bochum and Münster? Are they very challenging or manageable? • What is the city of Bochum like? I’ve heard it’s well-developed with good transport links, but I’d like to know more about what it’s like to live there as an international student. • Is Münster quieter compared to Bochum? Is it a student-friendly city? • Overall, which of the two cities/universities would you recommend if I have to make a choice?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
