Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Close to the city, and there's more freedom to choose the type of lodging. Plus, the university has a service for students looking for housing, which is really helpful!

Personal comments
The only downside is that appartments are expensive...but there's something for every budget within a 25 minute bus/train ride...from what I've heard, student "dorms" are an interesting experience, but not too independent or comfortable

I had no particular problem, certainly because I had studied German before (at school, at University); it could have been quite difficult to attend most courses without these good linguistic skills in German.

I was lucky to find something cheap and with a nice landlady but many people really struggled and had to live out of town

Course recommendations
It's difficult to get the courses that you want in the English seminar, because there's always too many people.
