The True Face of Mannheim Uni

Thoughts and observations of an exchange student living and studying in Mannheim, about the uni and the essence of Mannheim and its people. I do not post with the intention to hurt anybody, any nationalities, races or professors, but if you do feel struck, well I guess I have been spot on then and I'm sorry for stating the obvious. Please, do enjoy and share.
