Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn review by Petros

HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
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: Student Dorm
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Personal comments:
It was really nice to live in student-dorms. I used to live in Pariser Strasse 54 which is quite far from the city centre, and from the University Campus. But the transportation was really good (strassenbahn, nachtbus, and buses allways on time). It is really close to the Rhine river, and the Bar and the Bistro really give students the opportunity to get to know each other.

KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.

Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Personal comments:
The best parties take place in the University Buildings, or at the International Club in Poppelsdorf. Some good places worth to visit are: Gum (Russian Bar) , Carpe (the best disco in town) , Pendel (the best place to chill out and eat goo food) , Cafe Blau and of course the best pizza EVER you can find it in Cala-Dor (Hauptbanhof)
