Personal comments
It is cheaper to drink wine than beer and you save up to one Euro if you consume your drink at the bar instead of sitting down. As books are hardly available in the library it is better to borrow them from another student and to copy them in the copy shop

Overall
I wish I had known...
Choose well were to leave to avoid long walking distance and the necessity to use a bus, especially in night, because there are no night buses after 1 am. Look out and inform yourself when are strikes take place!
