Personal comments
Best cafe and restaurant near the LMU is CafeAnDerUni (CADU). Reasonable prises and good food. If you come to Munich, don't miss Oktoberfest, the craziest festival in the world. If you really like to dance, go to KunstparkOst, but the funniest disco in the city must be SoulCity...

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I had an apartment in a big student dormitary in Munich. It was easy to meet other young people there, but since I had my own room, it was also easy to find peace and quite when ever I felt like that.

New friends and new city: Nightlife!! Also lunch or dinner in a restaurant was much more usual abroad than back home.
Short distances to see Europe: Travel!!
Expensive calls to Finland was the reason, why telephone bills were a lot smaller than back home!

Since I lived quite far away from the city, I had to use quite a lot of money in local traffic... I have no cost-saving tips. You only live once :)

People in the City and Professors at the University pretty polite and understandable... but if one goes to study abroad I would suggest to make some courses before leaving the home country. Otherwise the first few months are only a living hell!
