Why? I lived in a student corridor with a lot of Swedes, which was a great way to get to know locals
Personal comments:
The apartment buidling was in a quite boring area but since everyone was here it didn't mind. All the things you needed were present.

The best night spots for students are the nations. They are cheap and only students go there, so it's a lot of fun. There is a sald bar in the Galleria that you have to try out. I ate there almost every day!!!
