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: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I chose to live with other german students because I thought it was the best way of improving my language skills, so maybe if I had to go back AS A STUDENT, I would do that again.
Personal comments:
I first decided to apply for a room in one of the University's dorms, but I was so disappointed with the place, the cleanliness the absence of german students and the price, that I left and started looking for another place.One of the best things I've ever done!

My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
Inform yourself about all the possible lectures, teachers are normally really nice and ready to adapt their timetables to their student's. In Spain it was quite the opposite!

Didn't like it.

Was learning German a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my German
How much did you improve your German?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
The languages of instructions were English and German. German was more difficult at the beginning, but the examinations were oral, and I could pass them well. The subjects in English were passed without problems

FINAL COMMENTS

Talk to someone who lives in the city to know which places you should not go to. Racial issues can be important here, but easy to avoid with a little bit common sense.
