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.

Course recommendations
The German courses for foreign students are good, but there're not enough. They should offer more courses, with different tematics.

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.
