Your classroom in Munich is not bounded by four walls. MISU programs open the door to a wealth of experiences far beyond the solely academic. Our social activities provide a perfect setting for you to explore Germany, learn about our culture, meet and mingle with other students from all over the world.

• Explore LMU’s 530-year-old history and benefit from the rich leisure activities Munich has to offer – such as guided university and city tours, the famous open-air event Opera for All, or a visit to the Allianz Arena, the home stadium of FC Bayern München.

• Discover some of the fascinating historic castles, cities, and landscapes of Bavaria and Germany and participate in excursions which are generally organized on weekends.

• Sample Bavarian Gemütlichkeit at the MISU Summer Welcome Event in August, already a cherished tradition, and meet your fellow MISU students from all corners of the globe – some 80 countries.
