Course recommendations
studying politics in german proved to be much more difficult. any specialist course such as politics, law has its specific terminology - it takes time to get to know it and use it actively

Housing
Type of housing: university accomodation, not on campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: the same
Why?
i would still like to live in university accomodation because one can meet so many people from around the world. However, if I was staying in Berlin for both semesters I would move to a flat/appartment for the second part of the year.
