"I will return to Humboldt-Institut courses."

Antonia-Laetiția Bălinișteanu, student from Romania

Experience at Humboldt School has been constructive. Teachers have ease in communication, everything seems simple. Courses are complex in content. The location in Düsseldorf has been optimally placed, with quick access to public transport and a beautiful natural environment, very close to the Rhine River. Complex activities alternate with the rest program.

"It was very fun and very international!"

Anya Berchtold, student from USA

I really loved meeting new people from different countries and getting to know them. The hostel was nice, although my first roommate wasn’t great but the staff was able to move me to a new room and I’m very grateful for that. The hostel food was good and they had a nice variety to choose from. Lunch was alright, but they would run out of the good food and we would be left with some questionable option. The boat looked identical to a real high school- I forgot that I was on a boat sometimes! Classes were good and again I wasn’t happy in my first class (A1, it was very slow to me), but the staff halped me move to a higher class and there I was happier. I do believe my German improved- I now know the basics- but I was expecting it to be a little better from the name “intensive”. With the other students we mostly spoke English, just because we were all at different levels and it was hard to hold conversations for most of us. Most of the activities were fun, although it always seemed like the staff were a bit underprepared. My favorite activity was the ropes course we did one weekend. I wish we had more free time to explore for ourselves in the city because usually they only gave us an hour or two, which went by quickly. I was expecting us to have a bit more freedom from the description, but overall it was a fun program!

Modern hostel close to the city center of Vienna

Our students live in the Hostel "Wien Brigittenau", Vienna's most modern youth hostel. It is ideally located between the Danube Island and the down town area of Vienna. This way, the guest house combines the atmosphere of the big city with the advantages of a quiet and safe residential area. The classrooms on the "Bertha-von-Suttner" school ship are within walking distance. The city center with its many historic and cultural sights can easily be reached during the free time. The near-by Danube Island is an oasis of tranqulity and is ideal for relaxation, sports and manifold leisure activities.

Comfortable modern twin rooms

Our students stay exclusively in comfortable, modern twin rooms, which all have en suite bathroom facilities (shower/WC) and air condition. A room is always shared by two students. When choosing roommates we are very careful to select people of similar age and German knowledge, yet different native language, to encourage them to practice their German with each other. Male and female students live on different floors of the hostel.

Full board

We provide full board for our teenagers, which includes three main meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) a day. Breakfast and dinner will be served in the dining room of the youth hostel, while lunch will be served on board of the ship.

Laundry

Laundry service is offered to our students free of charge once a week.

Vienna - wide variety of attractions

Vienna, the city with the highest quality of life in the world, unites tradition and modernity in its own unique way. With 1.7 million inhabitants, Vienna is both Austria’s capital and its largest city – and the site of the first Humboldt-Institut program in neighboring Austria. Not only is it home to an exceptionally charming dialect of German, Vienna also offers what may be the world’s finest cultural scene: besides the old city and Schönbrunn Palace, both of which are UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites, Vienna also boasts countless royal residences and palaces, museums, famous buildings and landmarks, the most internationally known of which are St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the Ferris wheel in Prater park. Coffeehouses, Sachertorte, Wiener Schnitzel and the Naschmarkt: architectural monuments are not all that Vienna has to offer – the city’s wide variety of attractions cater to every taste!

"What courses do you offer as compared to Radolfzell?"

SeonHui Kim, student from Hong Kong

Our courses are designed for adults, not for teenagers. This is why we recommend Radolfzell for our young customers.

"The student is only 15 years old and is below the minimum age of 16 required to join the course below. Can you make an exception and accept our student into the program?"

Indeed the minimum age of our students is 16 years. Wouldn't he prefer to go to Radolfzell? The Carl Duisberg Centre Radolfzell is specialized for courses for teenagers under 16 years and offers a wide range of leisure time activities especially for this group of customers.
