Personal comments
I think I've learned a lot, not only in the classes, but also every day, with german friends too. The thing is, I know I could have learned more, but it's not so easy to make friends from the host country, all the exchange students tend to be together, and the problem is that, in that case, most of the time the most used language is English, or sometimes our native language.

I should have known more german.
They do not ask for german language before taken the classes, but once you are in germany of course you need it.

Housing
Type of housing: A flat in campus buildings
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would like to live in the center, because there's no much life in the campus, only during university classes

Personal comments
It was really helpful, because we didn't have to look for a room ourselves. They day I arrived here, I already had a room in a flat. I only had to fill in a form in june, and then the housing department in the international office did all the rest.

It's easy to travel from here around Europe, as it's more or less in the center. Bring your International Student Card.
