HOUSING

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: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It is fun sharing apartment with students from other countries
Personal comments:
Darmstadt is a University-city. In layman terms, the city is dominated by students. Hence there is severe scarcity of proper student accomodation. Its always judicious to look for housing independently and don't depend on the University.

English was the medium of instruction for our Master program. We Indians are more or less fluent in English and hence this University can be great place to study. The German language is needed for day to day life in and around the city.
