HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost

Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.

Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Because it is the best way to meet new people
Personal comments:
I think that the accomodation is quite good in this university, perhaps not very clean, but that depends on the own students. There are several kinds of residence, in my case, i had to do interviews in order to be "accepted" in a student appartment.

STUDENT LIFE    
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
If you come to Darmstadt, you maybe like to visite some interesting architectural buildings like Mathildenhoehe, or "Waldspiral" made by Hundert Wasser. If you want to spend some hours in a nice coffe, i recomend you to go to Café Chaos, Kuk or Central Station. At night i will suggest you to drive to Heilderberg (30 min.) or Frankfurt (15 min.), Darmstadt is a little boring.
