Personal comments
Neckar muller is great if you are a fan of beer. It is particularly nice in the summer here as you can sit out on the river. La cave is a little like a youth club, but it plays good music and is open until 3am every day. There are always parties going on withtin the university, it is a good place to party.

Housing
Type of housing: student accomodation out of the town centre
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The student accomodation where i stayed was fantastic although i felt it would have been more practical to live in the town centre (Altstadt)

Personal comments
I met a group of people here and i was paying the most rent out of all of them, but i have absoltuelty no complaints with my accomodation. It was so clean and there was enough room, not huge but enough, there were 16 people on my floor and four people to each bathroom, which were kept immaculate. I also had internet connection in my room which was included in my rent.
