Why?
Personal comments:
I lived in Pfeilheim (a student hostel) in a double room. The location was great, you could walk to the city centre. But I had to share the toilet and the kitchen with other 30 people, who lived on my same floor. It was always very noisy and you couldn't learn concentrate and learn properly.
