German is a really difficult language; I have never studied it before the experience in Wiesbaden, but after 4-5 Months I´ve taken 5 exams so... not that bad!

Housing
Type of housing: studentenwohnheim
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
More contacts with other students, if you choose a peaceful place where to live, but alienation at the same time, Friedrich-Naumann is perfect!

Personal comments
Friedrich-Naumann is a really quite place, perfect for studying but not for social life. It´s 10 minutes walk far from the centre and the Fachhochschule. Really clean (I had the impression to live in an hospital) but the Hausmeister is the most unfriendly person I´ve ever met.
