Personal comments
The top club of the town seens to be Park Cafe and Budha Bar(that is if you have some extra cash to spend).Just for a coffe visit Classico and Lavazza. Food? A bit pricey in Wiesbaden.Zum Dortmunder for good german Essen,La Forchetta(excuse my italian) for pasta or pizza and at Niko's for greek food!!!

Although having studied german for 4 years before coming here, actually speaking german is another thing!!! It takes some weeks till you understand what the lectures are about and takes about a month to start speaking german!!!Unless you speak english off course!!!

Being a student saves you a lot of money just by showing the student ID. Get a Bahncard if you intend to do a lot of train traveling outside Hessen.
