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.
