Personal comments
Night spot: Qbarna - Cuban pub with place to dance hot salsa ;)(not to be missed on saturdays!!!). when salsa night in Qbarna is over you move 2 steps to Capitol - typical disco, but with nice ambiente. about 5 am when Capitol begins to reach the end ;)go to Savoy - a place where all party-lovers end their night! In that way you come back home at about 7.30 am :D If you really want to study - don't go to Paderborn!
If it's about cafes - Cafe & BAR CELONA (BARCELONA) - great, cosy atmosphere. There are also many places where you can get delicious food!

Really great! You live in a normal flat, you have your own big room, fully furnished. there is equipped kitchen and living-room. the athmosphere was great (depends of course on your roommates..). close to the university - just to pass the street. fantastic place for grilling and chilling with other friends :)

Personal comments
To pass some exams you have to spend some time on books, although night life is very attracting... but if you are exchange student many Profs do not make much problems and let you pass oral exams or prepare some houseworks.
