Personal comments
As I came to Germany I was already speaking good German (1 year high school exchange programme), but after 2 semesters of studying and living in Germany I improved my German to a very fluent level. An Erasmus exchange year is also a multicultural experience as you also communicate with other students from Europe.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Although I was very satisfied with the housing on campus, the next time I would choose a shared apartment housing in order to experience the city living, which is slightly different than the campus live.
