Personal comments
In the latest months it has been excellent. The key was to find an environment where you were the only international student with a group of Germans. The best opportunity for that was to find a job, so that is what i did and my language and communications skills have improved enormously.

Personal comments
The closest disco to the city is "Brazil" even though by far it is not the best (that being "Airport"). The best cafes are all in Juliuspromenade although in Marktplatz the Cafe Schonbrun is extremely nice. Events not to be missed are the Kiliani Fest and the Mozart Festival.

Course recommendations
If studying languages then obviously choose language based courses, such as translation. I also did a history course, something to do with "Stereotypen und Reisen", which was very interesting. If Matthias Wagner is still teaching there, I recommend his courses.

The Boat is a nice place to go. There's also a few nice cafés that i can remember. It was 7 years ago, so I'm having trouble remembering. The main disco was a little out of town and you had to go through the red light district but once you got there it was fun!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I was placed in a 'Wohngemeinschaft' where I lived with two native Germans. This gave me the chance to make friends and practice my language immediately. The campus accomodation was also excellently serviced with gymnasium, washing facilities, it's own website, music practice room and many other facilities.
