So I am a Student from Germany, and i am spending 6 Months in Chile. I have no idea how the other students are like, and I feel like I even forgot the language... just hope that it won't be too bad!

Give it a couple months to let your ears adjust to the speed, accents, and idioms of the Spanish spoken there.

That is some ground shaking news, but not as earth shattering as Chile.

Generally I've found students love meeting foreigners, before you know you'll run out of funny stories. Good luck and have fun!

On your first day you either need to kill someone or become someone's bitch. Only way to stay safe

You can go in there being statistic and be that weird other-country person and wait and see how they receive you (risky - too many unknowns)

not good at giving advice. You should probably not even worry about it because no matter how you try and prepare yourself...
