Personal recommendation
It is a big university in a big town, i'm from Rome and was used to some situations, if you come from a smaller reality you may have to adapt to a bigger dimension.

Final comments
Berlin has changed much since i was there, so i cannot really give you addresses or things like that (but when i went back 2 years later i still loved it!). It was not easy to get in touch with the local students, but there were so many Erasmus you could enjoy the opportunity of such a city with them!!!!
