Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? way more space than the on campus accomodation (you share a _room_ with another person there oftentimes.) Disadvantage of living off-campus: You do not meet the other exchange students as often
Personal comments:
none

Definetely visit some operas or plays at the university theater, they are really good. Furthermore a lot of bars, but the city is small enough to be able to find the good places yourself.
