Learning situation:
Greifswald University is the smallest comprehensive university in Germany. It is this family atmosphere and good tutoring during the study period that makes Greifswald more and more popular among college students.
Who would have thought that a few years ago, if students were assigned to Greifswald by the university quota allocation center, they would still think it was some kind of punishment for themselves. There was a saying at that time: "Whoever comes to Greifswald will cry twice. The first time was when the university quota allocation center sent it to Greifswald. The second time was when I left college. " This is still suitable for some students today, but most of them have a soft spot for Greifswald now. In northeast Germany, Berlin is the first choice for medical students, followed by Graveswald.
Small but refined
Greifswald University has a variety of majors, from English language and literature to dentistry. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the number of students has tripled. In the winter semester of the 2008/2009 academic year, there were about12,000 students in Greifswald University. Although the number of students has soared, Greifswald University is still the smallest comprehensive university in Germany, and it still maintains a family atmosphere: a professor only tutors 60 students on average.
The feeling of "we"
However, the family atmosphere is not only reflected in the lack of professional courses, short distance and small city, but also in the fact that most students have a strong sense of identity with their universities and take the initiative to organize various activities, such as senior students taking the initiative to serve as counselors, caring for freshmen and international students, helping them find housing, arranging courses and holding parties for freshmen. The climax of this series of welcoming activities is the traditional entrance ceremony held in St. Nicholas Cathedral.
Traditional university
Founded in 1456, Greifswald University is one of the oldest universities in Germany, and today's college students can still feel its century-old charm. After the reunification of Germany and Germany, many historical buildings have been properly maintained. For example, in the auditorium, students are still sitting on wooden benches for hundreds of years. Of course, Greifswald University not only keeps the tradition, but also keeps pace with the times. For example, the university affiliated hospital is brand new, with facilities exceeding the average level in Germany, and it is one of the most advanced university affiliated hospitals in Germany.
