Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because this University doesn't have a campus housing, Freiburg is a town where you can move quick from one place to another one and in a house I can live with other students.

Personal comments
Housing was cheap and you could choose with how many people you wanted to live with. I lived at a student residence made by different student apartments.

Overall
I wish I had known...
I should have gone and stayed there two years instead of one. I had the chance to go there my fourth and fifth year of my law degree and I went there only for the fifth year.

It is a very good university to study law -the best of Germany-, you can take specialised courses which are really affordable at the Studentenwerk and the relationship between students and teachers is really good.

Personal comments
I had studied a lot of German before I went to Freiburg, but I am a perseverant person and from the beginning I wanted to improve my language skills. The problem is that Freiburg has too many foreign students and if you want to achieve a very good knowledge, German can only be learned if you are in contact with native speakers, not with foreign students. The summer before the college course began I went to Goethe Institut and after that I joined a group of German students. If you get on well with some Germans, you can improve your skills very quickly. As well, there are many bars which are often visited by local citizens.
