Personal comments
I had free access to the computers wich all had free internet access, there was a seperate building with all kind of sports accommodations (fitness equipment, tennis courts,...), there where two restaurants, there was a lab to learn different languages, rooms for concerts, the buildings were surrounded by gardens etc. I diden´t feel like lacking anything, so I can assure you the accommodation was more than fine.
