A good way of saving money is going out to big discos on thursdays because there´s free entrance. Small pubs such as The Prof or Salamander are always free.

Personal recommendation
The location of the campus is perfect, just in the Groenplatz. Plenty of visual aids during the lessons so if you don´t feel confident with english is easier to follow the teacher.

Housing
Type of housing: kot
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose:
Why?
A Kot is a small residence in which you generally share with other students kitchen and sometimes bathroom. I would prefer a kot rather than a studio or a big residence due to the fact that is easier to meet people if there is a shared kitchen.
