HOUSING

KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.

Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because the rooms were really not clean enough.
Personal comments:
It is quite cheap but unfortunately not so clean. The kitchens are shared by 12 persons and sometimes it makes problems. But the bars of the dormitiories are quite fun.

The Germans wants to speak in german with you and if you are fluent they will like it very much. For non speakers, most of Germans can speak English. But you have to learn German to adapt the local environment.
