Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I have been used to an independent way of living. By living in a flat share one preserves one's independence, while staying in close contact with fellow students. ATTENTION: For students travelling from the UK, it might come as a surprise that the majority of flats in Germany are only available unfurnished.

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Mix with your fellow students! Hanover's architecture faculty is located in a separate building from the other courses (some are just accross the street, though) so the architecture students are part of a very strong community. Just mingle. Go to the Tuesday Bar.
