HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I had a single room and that suited me very well. I could meet some people if I wanted, and I had also the quitness when I wanted to study.
Personal comments:
The housing is arranged by a firm named, Studentenwerk. This is a very good firm, but mostly unriendly. As a foreign student you will get priority.
