Hallo from Germany! So as you may know, the reason I'm here is to do my master's program in history. My intensive German-language course doesn't start until September, and actual classes don't start until October, but I came to Germany early to settle in and just enjoy the lovely town I'm in before I have to buckle down and get to work!
So on one of what will be many trips to the Uni (that's what everyone says to refer to the university) to sort out the dreaded German bureaucracy, I decided to take some pictures to give everyone a glimpse of where I'll be taking classes for the next two years.
Uni Konstanz was built during the 60s, and in many ways, it shows. It has many mod-artistic elements in its architecture, which makes for an interesting layout. The University of Richmond, where I went for undergrad, had an Ivy League-feel with a perfectly manicured landscape. Some students even said the buildings there resembled Hogwarts. Uni Konstanz is entirely different.

| The cafeteria, or "Mensa," with a festive welcoming display! |

| Further into the lobby, in the direction of the various class areas |
 |
| And of course, being Germany, it has a beer truck, for instant biergarten enjoyment :) |
 |
| Unlike many American college campuses, Konstanz is almost entirely one, large, connected building |
