The international student office will help and guide you through all your administrative obligations. Traveling is very easy and the region is full of small and lovely towns, as well and woods, lakes... Just enjoy it.

I could really improve my language skills through living with local students. Since I like German language very much, this was a really good and enjoyable experience.

Housing
Type of housing: Shared housing with other students
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: same
Why?
I wanted to live with German students, whereas most Erasmus students stay in an international environment, which is very interesting, but doesn't really allow to meet local persons.
