My favourite night spots are spread in many of the cities in the Rhein-Ruhr area.It has some fantastic cities like Cologne,Düsseldorf,Essen,Bochum...very happening places.Once in a while I do enjoy going to a disco.I am a major Salsa lover and hence do go to a lot of Hispanic clubs around.My perfect summer would be enjoying a good meal and spipping away cocktails at the awesome bars in Düsseldorf.

As I come from India,the language of instruction i School and at the Univarsity was English.I guess I benefitted immensly from that.I think that German is an easy language that is very systematic in its approch.Any one who comes from an Indo-German backgroung shouldn't have problems learing it provided one has the patience and the zeal to do it.

It's brilliant, and students are the same the world over, so there's nothing to worry about. You'll find that it's really easy to make friends, and many of the same social rules apply as at home.

The AstA organised events are really good. Though a shock to the system at first, as Unions are nothing like in the UK, I quickly found out that they're not to be missed. Other than AstA events, we travel regularly to Cologne or Dusseldorf at the weekend.
