Personal comments
I think that the accomodation is quite good in this university, perhaps not very clean, but that depends on the own students. There are several kinds of residence, in my case, i had to do interviews in order to be "accepted" in a student appartment.

Personal comments
If you come to Darmstadt, you maybe like to visite some interesting architectural buildings like Mathildenhoehe, or "Waldspiral" made by Hundert Wasser.
If you want to spend some hours in a nice coffe, i recomend you to go to Café Chaos, Kuk or Central Station.
At night i will suggest you to drive to Heilderberg (30 min.) or Frankfurt (15 min.), Darmstadt is a little boring.
