Personal comments
The semester parties organised by the students at school are a lot of fun. For the rest Hof doesn't have any decent nihtclubs. The best thing to do is organise small parties with your friends at the student housing. Or have a car and drive to the nearby cities with nightclubs.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I would chose the studenthouses on campus again because of the social contact. All your friends live near to you.

Personal comments
The campus close to the city is pretty modern. The only thing is the internet which is really slow and doesn't work sometimes.
