Personal comments
Student housing was not too good, floors usually are taken out of the houses, which most of the foreign students don't know. Better information would be necessary.

Foreign students should definitely take the opportunity and travel as much as possible in their free time-to experience and see more of the other culture. No better culturual learning than that.
