Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? You get to meet other students, there is always something going on.
Personal comments:
The facilities were quite basic but the communal ones were cleaned daily monday to friday. The rooms were a fair size and in a good location for the University and trams into the city centre.

Personal comments:
Nightclubs: Bhaggay Disco and MK2. For a more german but lively atmosphere Ballermann 6. Loads of great restaurants, in particular Acapulco and Miles Smiles. Must see Schloss Benrath and take a trip to Koblenz. Karnival, the locals go mad and its a good chance to relive your childhood

KEY:

It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: German
Was learning German a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my German
How much did you improve your German?
My level before: Basic phrases
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
I went to the Heinrich Heine Universität in Düsseldorf to take the intensive German course. I couldn't help speaking English with my friends, but sometimes they were hard on me forcing me to speak German. This was vey helpful. I think the best way to learn a language, better than taking a class, is to talk, listen to the TV, Radio, reading books and interact with the language, classes are not as helpful.

FINAL COMMENTS

Dusseldorf is a very well located city, from which you can reach easily many places, both in the region and the rest of germany, and also the Netherlands. If you need help with your studies or any other problems don't hesiate to ask the international office of the university, they are always available for helping students out with any problems. If you wanna travel somewhere for a very cheap price, try mitfahrgelegenheit.de a system where you can join someone that goes by car to the same place as you. Also couch surfing is very popular in Germany. Experience as much as you can!
