Going to classes in a different language, at first you have to get used to the language. But when it's time for the exams, you'll be able to deal with it pretty good! Don't be afraid for the language.

Personal comments
The university doesn't arrange housing for the students. They only give you a list where you can look for a place to stay. But finding a place is not a problem.
