I met up with around ten of my 35 classmates today, when Jiota got us together to take care of some university admin/logistical things as a group. Everyone seems really nice (but younger -- I was the only one over thirty).
One of the guys I met, Petros, is Greek... and he also plans to travel next semester to Athens for the wind energy specialization. So I learned from him that campus housing is mostly non-existent in Athens, and we (students) may have a very difficult time just finding housing at all. Hopefully the university will help, but he was pessimistic about it. He also said that most bars in Athens stay open until 4am on weeknights and round-the-clock on weekends. He made Athens sound like party-central -- could be dangerous! :o

I am currently enrolled in a program called the European Master in Renewable Energy. From Oct-07 until Jan-08, I studied general RE at Carl von Ossietzky Univ. of Oldenburg, Germany. Then I studied wind energy at the Nat'l Tech Univ. of Athens, Greece, for 4 months. I've now returned to NW Germany to intern for six months with a wind energy consultancy called Deutsche WindGuard. This blog documents my experiences with photos, tales of cultural (mis)adventures, and musings about energy resources.
