HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? I would chose the studenthouses on campus again because of the social contact. All your friends live near to you.
Personal comments:
The campus close to the city is pretty modern. The only thing is the internet which is really slow and doesn't work sometimes.

STUDENT LIFE    
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
The semester parties organised by the students at school are a lot of fun. For the rest Hof doesn't have any decent nihtclubs. The best thing to do is organise small parties with your friends at the student housing. Or have a car and drive to the nearby cities with nightclubs.
