    Description
    In the past, mainly heterotic string compactifications with SU(N) bundles and type II orientifolds with U(1) backgrounds have been considered. I will discuss string compactifications with general U(N) bundles and its relevance to phenomenology. The SO(32) heterotic string will be presented in detail, the matching with the S-dual Type I string given and differences for the heterotic E_8 x E_8 string will be pointed out. A model on an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifold will be given and at the end statistical results on string vacua will be commented on.
