Interaction with local students
Personal comments
No, we did learn a lot. It was kind of strange, though, that we had to find all the literature in the library ourselves and then copy it. It would have been better to buy a main book and then copy some chapters in addition to that.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I lived close to the university and the other students, but at the same time I had an appartment to myself and thus privacy. Stores and transportation, that is bus and U-bahn, were 1 minumte away!
