Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? One can arrange parties,leave guests for a night and so on. The main reasons are cost efficiency and flexibility.
Personal comments:
I had my own room, which I have repaired and furnished in my own way. That is why I like my accomodation since it looked as I wanted.

Course recommendations:
You have to take the lessons with M. Stewart. He is a really good teacher, funny and really experienced. He is doing the Communication in Marketing lessons. For French people, avoid M. Freitag, he does not like French people!!!

It has a very good reputation for business in Germany. However, the town itself is not the best place for a student to live.

Try not to live with other foreign students as you will end up speaking in English constantly and it will be difficult to improve your German.
